Drone laws a step towards future of transport

ACT Leader David Seymour is praising the government’s attitude to liberalising drone laws.

“Usually government regulations are a drag on innovation, so it’s great to see this government getting out in front.”

Mr Seymour says it is positive to see a government that understands the role of technology in transport.

“While our political opponents have a pathological obsession with trains, and making us live closer together, I’m proud to support a government that is future focused when it comes to transport.”

Mr Seymour also encouraged Transport Minister Simon Bridges to go hard on transport liberalisation.

“Hopefully this is only the beginning of liberalised transport regulations – we need to do better with car sharing and driverless cars. New Zealand should aim to lead the world in transport technology friendliness.”
