Well, I mean, I think, you know, you can argue we've got a lot of potholes in the road.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
Christopher Luxon: Prime Minister discusses the signing of the India Free Trade Agreement, cancelling the TVNZ Breakfast interview spot

We've had a big programme of renewal across our roads since we came to power, you know, over the last two years.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast

I think we started with 64,000 potholes or something from memory.

We've been working our way through it and renewing our road.

But I think there are just common sense things where, you know, some of the rules, for example, around, you know, how much weight they can carry, at what times, you know, travelling off-peak,

curfews, those sorts of things, we should be open to removing those restrictions if it means more efficiency and that we can get product around the country.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
Christopher Luxon: Prime Minister discusses the signing of the India Free Trade Agreement, cancelling the TVNZ Breakfast interview spot

We've got really good levels of stocks and country.

The Mike Hosking Breakfast
