The Prime Minister can blame rising living costs on ‘global conditions’ all she likes, but the cost of fuel is one thing she can control.
Taxes on a litre of petrol include:
70.024 cents in excise
6 cents in ACC levy
0.66 cents in Local Authorities Tax
0.6 cents in Engine Fuels Monitoring Levy
18.2 cents in ETS levy
0.076 cents in other levies
And in Auckland:
10 cents in Regional Fuel Tax
And charged on top of all taxes, plus the before-tax price:
15% in GST
This means the total tax on a $2.77 litre of petrol is $1.43 in Auckland and $1.31 in the rest of the country – about 52% and 48% of the average price, respectively.

Gas Heater - flued, 2.3-8.2 kW Rinnai Energysaver 1004FTR
This is the natural gas version and is flued so no humidity issues like you get with the unflued heaters. It has been working perfectly fine. We’re remodelling so the builder had to get the plumber to take it off the wall. Selling as is and buyer takes responsibility to get them installed by a certified gas fitter. I am also told you’re meant to have them re-certified - if this is required it’s also the buyers responsibility. Suggest you talk to your gasfitter if you’re unsure.

If spare time is a rarity - not to worry! This year’s Givealittle page is now live and we’re aiming to fundraise $25,000 for the Tasman Environment Trust. All money raised will go towards the purchase of bait and bait stations to continue and expand wasp control operations.

Auckland Council is looking to scrap bin tags in parts of Auckland.
The bin tags – or a pay as you throw (PAYT) system – were rolled out in West Auckland, Papakura and on the North Shore between 2017 and 2018.
Rather than paying for kerbside rubbish collection as part of their rates, residents in these areas purchase bin tags from supermarkets, council service centres and libraries, and attach them to their bin on rubbish collection day.
The bin tags were part of the council’s strategy to achieve its goal of zero waste to landfill by 2040, with one standard sized bin (120L, bin tag cost $4.25) fitting the equivalent of, and removing the need for, two plastic rubbish bags.
The council had planned on rolling out this system across the entire region, however it now believes it is too expensive to operate and lacks the financial incentive needed to make people reduce their waste.
Now, it is proposing to move the entire region to a rates-funded collection service, with the choice of three rubbish bin sizes to cater to different household needs and costs.
If the proposal to goes ahead, it is estimated Aucklanders will pay $314 per year for their rubbish, recycling and inorganic collection. Including food scraps collection, this will cost $375.
If the entire region moves to a PAYT system, it is expected each household would spend $353 on bin tags each year, or $415 including food scraps collection. This estimate is based on the current average collection rate of a household with a standard 120L bin.
Consultation on the matter will begin on February 28. So, what do you think should happen?
