Crypto investors are hoping a new policy will stop punishing them in the long term. 

ACT's campaigning on modernising regulations, including allowing tax-free profits on crypto held for more than a year, and a 12 month brightline test. 

Party Leader David Seymour believes our tax system currently treats crypto coins as an asset. 

Swyftx New Zealand Country Manager Paul Quickenden told Ryan Bridge every time you buy or sell, there's effectively a capital gains tax. 

He says there's a lot of work for a very small amount of tax.

Freight drivers are warning against pushing back roading projects. 

Labour's promised no hikes to the fuel excise over the next three years, if elected.  

Instead it'll consider pushing back National Land Transport Fund projects to make up for the reduced income. 

Transporting NZ Chief Executive Dom Kalasih told Ryan Bridge this would be a mistake as a reliable road network is extremely important for productivity. 

He says any holding off on roading investment is false economy – it's short term gain for long term pain.
