Supply Chain Partners Face Significant Fines If They Contribute To Speeding, Fatigue Or Overloading By Truck Drivers
Press Release – Ia Ara Aotearoa Transporting New Zealand Transporting New Zealand has launched a set of resources raising awareness about the 'Chain of Responsibility' provisions in the Land Transport Act, that can result in serious fines for those who influence truck drivers to breach transport rules. The national road freight association, Transporting New Zealand, is calling on all parties across the supply chain to play their part in preventing speeding, breach of work time rules and overladen trucks. Transporting New Zealand has launched a set of resources raising awareness about the 'Chain of Responsibility' provisions in the Land Transport Act, that can result in serious fines for those who influence truck drivers to breach transport rules. Transporting New Zealand Chief Executive Dom Kalasih says that it isn't just truck drivers with road safety responsibilities. 'If your conduct contributes to truck drivers exceeding speed limits, breaching work time rules, or operating over-weight vehicles, you can be liable for a fine of up to $25,000 under the Land Transport Act.' 'This is relevant to everyone from transport company directors, cargo owners, processors, and ports. All those supply chain parties whose instructions, expectations and facilities can contribute to non-compliance.' 'While it is ultimately the responsibility of truck drivers and road freight businesses to ensure they are operating safely and compliantly, the Chain of Responsibility provisions recognise that other parties are often in a position of power when it comes to getting freight delivered.' 'Transporting New Zealand has always maintained a zero-tolerance policy towards deliberate non-compliance by transport operators, and that remains unchanged.' Kalasih says he hopes that the Chain of Responsibility resources will encourage conversations between transporters, their clients, and transport facilities like processing plants and ports. 'Issues that really put road freight companies under pressure include last minute timing and delivery changes, unrealistic ultimatums from supply chain partners, and a lack of weighing facilities or parking facilities.' Kalasih would like to see supply chain partners have clear chain of responsibility policies, and increased use of written contracts with appropriate protections for transporters. 'If all parties across the supply chain play their part, it puts truck drivers and road freight companies in the best position to deliver the freight task safely and efficiently.'

Richard Prince exhibition 'Posters' on display at Hetzler
May 22—"Posters," a solo exhibition of works by Richard Prince, is on display through Dec. 7 at Hetzler — Marfa, 1976 Antelope Hills Road, in Marfa. One of the foremost representatives of appropriation art, Richard Prince has been recontextualising images and ideas from mass media, advertising and entertainment since the 1970s. Often based on products of everyday American culture, his practice is one of 'post-production,' which reworks cultural phenomena and their attributes to rewrite received narratives and our understanding of history, a news release said. The present exhibition brings together a large body of Prince's "Poster" works on canvas and on paper, created between 2014 and 2024. The large canvases show reproductions of advertisements for mail-order posters, as were often found at the back of magazines in the second half of the 20th century. Hugely popular at the time, these printed images represent touchstones of early counter-cultural magazines, which are among Prince's long-term interests. The motifs of political slogans and far-out art in the form of cheap posters are singled out and chosen by the artist. They find their origins in the hippie head-shop culture of the late '60s, which also encompassed magazines, music and comedy records. Taped-off and blocked-out from the pages where they were listed, the images have been blown up so that the resulting works are far larger than the original posters. In their seemingly arbitrary selection, the poster images combine anti-war slogans, reproductions of Modern art, graphic-design interpretations of nude couples, and pictures of cats in sometimes humorously disparate compilations. The revolutionary attitude of the late '60s student protests is juxtaposed against the self-indulgence of hippie culture in this side-by-side illustration of popular visual language. If cultural attitudes are transported through everyday imagery, then Prince makes them transparent by applying the focus of his artistic practice to these source materials. Method and implication are translated into different contexts and, with his meticulous attention to detail, the artist decodes the communication of contemporary visual language and the ideas which are concealed within it. Richard Prince (b. 1949, Panama Canal Zone) lives and works in Upstate New York. Prince's work has been the subject of numerous solo exhibitions in international institutions, including Georgia Museum of Art, Athens (2024); Louisiana Museum of Art, Humblebaek; The Karpidas Collection (both 2022 — 2023); Museum for Modern Art, Weserburg (2021); Museum of Contemporary Art Detroit (2019 — 2020); Museo de Arte Latinoamericano de Buenos Aires Malba; Espace Louis Vuitton, Beijing; Astrup Fearnley Museet, Oslo (all 2018); Los Angeles County Museum of Art (2017 — 2018); Kunsthaus Bregenz (2014); Picasso Museum, Malaga (2012); Le Consortium, Dijon (2011); Serpentine Gallery, London; Walker Art Center, Minneapolis (both 2008); Guggenheim Museum, New York (2007 — 2008); Kunsthalle Zürich (2002); Museum für Gegenwartskunst, Basel (2001); and MAK, Vienna (2000), among others. The artist participated in the Venice Biennale in 2007 and 2003, as well as the Whitney Biennial in 2004, 1997, 1987 and 1985.
