Overseas taxing on items

Alethea from Mahora

I hope the government will decide against this as the only place we can get shoes for my 16yr old son is eBay as he is a size 19. They cost enough as it is with exchange rate and shipping. If the government puts the extra tax on items, well needless to say I will need to rob a bank just to buy shoes!!!And when a nz store wants to charge $120 for a healing book and I can get it for $46nzd from the UK and free shipping, which one do you think I would pay for.......Yes we are a tiny country and cannot provide for every person, but there should be allowances for people when NZ doesn't provide the items they need.. e.g. large shoes!!

Poll: If we want to reduce speeding, what do you think actually changes driver behaviour? πŸ›»πŸš¨πŸš“

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

In the Post's article on speeding penalties, the question is asked whether speeding fines are truly about road safety, or are they just a way to boost revenue for the Crown?

What do you think? Should speeding motorists receive speeding fines or demerit points?
