Petrol Rip Off.

John from East Invercargill

I see with all the crying the last week about the government petrol tax and the rip off it is today I have seen a price increase of 6 and 8 cents a litre. Let us put that into context. Oil has dropped by 6 dollars a barrel which normally equates too a 1 cent drop in petrol per dollar . In Other words it should be 6 cent drop in price. Add to that the Kiwi has improved slightly so that should have assisted the drop but no the petrol companies have put what amounts to a 12 cent increase. ( 6 cents it should have dropped and the 6 cent increase . ) What should we do , I know blame Labor for another added tax increase while the major petrol companies rub their hands with glee and think of those overseas holidays they will be getting with the added profits..

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
