Do you support the Labour Government's double whammy fuel tax for Aucklanders to tackle congestion and the road toll?

Reporter Rodney Times

The Government is proposing a fuel tax increase across the country of between 9 and 12 cents a litre in order to fund rapid rail and bring down road deaths. This would be on top of 10 cents a litre tax for Aucklanders expected to start in July. This would mean an increase of up to 22 cents on the price of a litre of petrol.

Poll: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.
