Canterbury petrol prices higher than other NZ cities
A recent spike in Christchurch petrol prices has highlighted the lack of petrol price competition in the city.
Christchurch motorists took a significantly bigger hit than those in North Island cities when international crude oil prices jumped during May and June, new data shows.
Infometrics economist Gareth Kiernan says with fewer discount stations, South Island motorists are more exposed the brunt of such price hikes.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
