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: Should the government levy industries that contribute to financial hardship?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

As reported in the Post, there’s a $30 million funding gap in financial mentoring. This has led to services closing and mentors stepping in unpaid just to keep helping people in need 🪙💰🪙

One proposed solution? Small levies on industries that profit from financial hardship — like banks, casinos, and similar companies.

So we want to hear what you think:
Should the government ask these industries to contribute?

Poll: As a customer, what do you think about automation?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Press investigates the growing reliance on your unpaid labour.

Automation (or the “unpaid shift”) is often described as efficient ... but it tends to benefit employers more than consumers.

We want to know: What do you think about automation?
Are you for, or against?
