Hi Waikato,

What's the highest price per litre of fuel you've paid for recently? Petrol prices are skyrocketing around the country, with some Kiwi motorists shelling out more than $3 a litre for fuel!

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern claims that New Zealanders are being "fleeced" at the pump, but petrol companies are pushing back on those claims.

The Government plans to rush through changes to an act, which will allow a watchdog to investigate the margins on fuel. Click here to read more about how your rising fuel taxes will be spent.

So what are your thoughts on the current price of fuel? Can you and your family afford it? Do you think the current prices need to be investigated? Share your thoughts with us in the comments below!

Taupo has won the rights to host the IRONMAN 70.3 World Championships in November 2020 – and it will be the biggest event the district has ever seen.

The announcement was made today in the lead-up to this year's IRONMAN World Championship event at Kailua-Kona, Hawaii. Taupo was selected over the other finalist, Perth, Australia, following a robust application process and a visit by IRONMAN Global representatives in June.

It is estimated the event on November 28 and 29 will bring an economic return of $20 million to the district, which is two thirds of the return the district's events normally attracts over the whole year. It is the first time the 70.3 World Championship will be held in New Zealand and only the second time in Oceania. This year the event was hosted in Nelson Mandela Bay, South Africa. Next year it will be held in Nice, France.

Taupo to retain rescue chopper

The Government announcement that the Taupō District will retain its rescue helicopter service has been heralded a community victory by Mayor David Trewavas.

The announcement will see the central North Island covered by air ambulances in Taupō, Tauranga and Hamilton, with response times estimated to be the same or faster than the current model.

Mr Trewavas says that the rescue chopper is essential given Taupō's central location and he was glad to see that common sense had prevailed.

"The fact that the chopper will be staying is great news, but it is also fantastic to see there will actually be an increased level of service under the new system. This was a real community effort, with so many people in the district getting behind the campaign to save the chopper. I'd like to thank everyone who lent a hand, from Rachel Hunter for her great video appeal, to former Prime Minister Helen Clark for her support. And of course local woman Jan-Marie Quinn for organising a march here in Taupō, and well-known local aviator John Funnell for his advocacy in Wellington. It's a great outcome, and great to know that the Greenlea team will be able to continue to provide their fantastic service."

The revised service will come into operation on November 1, 2018, and in making the announcement Health Minister Dr David Clark said this was the first part of a ten year programme that would increase crew numbers and reduce call out times.
