I think you'll find it starts next July. An extra cost of $45 per annum. The price of a couple of slabs of cheap beer.

the problem is the money is not used for the actuarl thing but is throwen down the hole of this coutrys debt. the docu nz poor children not long ago explaind exactly when the county went down the gurgler , maldoon was the beginning off the end it started just before he got to power and he started digging the hole thats bigger and larger every year now.
someone has to pay for it. imagine if labour and greens get in,it would be a LOT LOT worse.

$45.00 if you buy 10 litres a week for the year, at the maximum tax of 9 cents.

And the pension is going to go up how much! $45 may not sound much, but a dollar a week on this, a dollar a week on that, a dollar a week on something else, soon adds up if you are on a fixed income.
If you have already done your economising, it isn't quite so easy.

Its not just the petrol that'll go up its everything else that goes up and they make the petrol price rise the excuse

To be honest they are as all as bad as each other, it just depends what way you look at it.

What happens when you vote a spectator Govt in, stinging motorists yet again is just a copout.Its the inflationary effect that this causes that does the real damage.

It's not the tax that pisses me off, it's their weak reasoning for it! National have TOTALLY failed. All they do is talk about getting back to surplus, yet they can't even get that right.

I agree. Just electioneering b/s like the 170,000 new jobs. I'll never forget the smirk on Weasel Bill English's face when he talks about the surplus. He knows it's a pipe-dream.

i just had a bad dream about this so in 3 years we will need to pay instead of 5 cent per km 13 cent per km road user charges! just immagine by how mutch they will rise the already overpriced foods in the supermarkets .

given I buy 200 litres in a quiet week it might be a bit more then aye! Then there is the fact that literally everything is road freighted and so the fuel cost is built in.
