Barry Soper: Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent on the Government launching a hotline for road cones - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

The Government's asking people to dob in too many road cones at work sites.

A telephone hotline is planned - for people to report excesses.

It'll be manned and funded by WorkSafe.

It's been announced at the same time as Health and Safety at Work Act changes, with a focus on reducing the load on smaller businesses.

Newstalk ZB senior political correspondent Barry Soper has voiced support with this idea.
