AA has confirmed people have had to wait months to sit their driver's license test. 

The Government is trying to cut the long wait time for tests, by allowing only one free resit.

AA Chief Policy Officer Simon Douglas says they'll ease in the new rules over time.

He says once the three month transition period ends, they'll monitor whether the changes have the impact they want.

The Media Minister says there is a risk digital platforms will retaliate if they're forced to pay to use New Zealand news content.

The Government's moves to force tech giants to support New Zealand-produced news have been met with scepticism.
