The trucking sector says transport decisions are never a black and white either/or situation.

Newstalk ZB's newsroom yesterday revealed officials were thrashing out a plan to put emissions reduction as their top priority.

Hours later, the Government announced the focus would instead be on rebuilding the roading network, following Cyclone Gabrielle.

Transporting New Zealand Chief Executive Nick Leggett told Kate Hawkesby he's heartened to see the government commitment to restoring roads.
