The Government are hoping to quickly move ahead with its Fast Track Bill - despite facing some speed-bumps.

Cabinet will recommend changes to the proposed law, including switching who has the final say from Ministers to an independent panel.

I comes after 27-thousand public submissions were made on the bill.

However, RMA Reform Minister Chris Bishop told Mike Hosking he's confident the public want the bill, with hundreds already signing up for fast-track approval.

He says energy, housing, and infrastructure issues are prevalent throughout the country, and must be addressed.

Plant nursery Far North Tropicals has seen demand increase four fold every year, since it formed three years ago. 

Bananas, pawpaw and pineapples are among those being sent across the country - including to typically colder regions like Invercargill

Nursery founder Aaron McCloy told Mike Hosking there's a lot of potential both for casual gardeners and commercial growers. 

He says people are noticing they have less or no frost where they used to have frost - which is ideal for growing tropical plants.
