Advance NZ's Jami-Lee Ross has threatened former co-leader Billy Te Kahika with legal action after a nasty public stoush over donations following its split from the NZ Public Party (NZPP) last month.

The new regulations come into effect at 11:59pm on Wednesday and will apply to everyone over the age of 12 travelling on public transport in and out of Auckland.
