Topics - Labour leadership contender David Parker says Labour borders on feeling like "a cult" and must look at its branding - including its symbolic red party colour. Two transport headlines today: Auckland's use of trains has reached 12 million trips in a year, passing Wellingtons 11.9 million.

Officials are reviewing legislation allowing for the testing of umanned autonomous vehicles on public roads.
