Petrol Price War

John from East Invercargill

I know this is not about cats up a tree and I have mentioned this before but can anyone explain why Invercargill has the cheapest petrol prices in the South Island and cheaper than most of the North. Invercargill 1.96 , ChCh , 2.08 , Otago 2.11 . Wellington 2.08 , Hawkes Bay 1.99 , Auckland 1.93.
The price of Brent crude is $US 20 more than when prices were 2.13. So does that mean when oil gets to 100.00 the petrol stations will be giving us money when we fill up.
On another note , being a nice day I decided too go for a walk in Queens Park instead of scaring cats as I walk the streets. No I never saw any cats up the several trees there but I did see the museum is still standing and that the shaking I experienced last night wasn't an earthquake but in fact fear from being chased by my wife.

No I am not coming down.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
