Poll: Would you get a drone to clean your windows?

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

Libby Totton Reporter from Waikato Times

We’re taking the bus or the train and trucking companies are getting slammed with price rises to simply stay on the road.

Welcome to the world of $3 a litre plus for fuel.

As the average price of 91 octane petrol across the country rose to $3.32/L at the start of the working week and politicians nervously eyed storage figures, Waikato households feeling the strain were offered little but hope.
