There are fears cyclone-related costs will cripple businesses without Government intervention. Transporting New Zealand's Nick Leggett says the disaster has caused significant damage, including wiping out entire fleets in his sector. He says there should be a Covid-style wage subsidy, for companies that will now struggle to cover wages and costs. "If you've had damage to your property, you've lost some of your fleet and some of your people are unable to come to work, it all adds up to coming to a point where there isn't going to be your part of the supply chain ready to go when those things turn on again. What we need is some support." LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
