Willie Jackson maintains he's not deliberately disseminating disinformation - but says everyone's having an election year biffo.

During a debate last night, Senior Labour Minister Jackson incorrectly maintained ACT and National planned to abolish the minimum wage.

Jackson later clarified he was being facetious.

He said he was in the heat of the moment, though he also agrees Kiwis should be aware of what politicians are saying.

Jackson explained that we're in a campaign - and everyone is having a bit of a scrap.

Willie Jackson: Labour Minister maintains he's not deliberately disseminating misinformation after last night's debate

People will have to pay with cash after a Trade Me sale if they want to avoid a fee.

The company's removing its 7.9 percent 'success fee' for casual selling - keeping only a small service fee.

Along with Afterpay and cash, Trade Me uses its own payment system, Ping - taking just over two percent from every sale. 

Trade Me’s Head of Marketplace Lisa Stewart says bank transfers will now be against their policy.

"We've got teams of folks who scan the site to check that nothing dodgy is going on, if they catch that that kind of behaviour's happening, we'd look to educate our customers."

Black Caps player Cole McConchie says Allen gave a 'world-class' performance.

"That was some innings, he had to put out a performance like that in a semi-final from him - that was incredibly special."

The Minister for Transport says scrapping the Clean Car Standard's being considered. 

The standard imposes fees on importers bringing high emitting vehicles into the country.

A Transport Ministry-led review recently involved consultations with the vehicle industry, where they were asked for their thoughts on possible abolishment. 

Chris Bishop says this type of review, by definition, must look at the need for something overall. 

"It would be fair to say not that many people are keen on scrapping it altogether, we're going through a process with industry right now and we do want to see cleaner cars in New Zealand over time."
