Since 1970, National and Labour-led Governments
have increased taxes on petrol about the same amount
And now we have Taxinda complaining about the petrol companies and their 3-4c per litre while she takes 120c and increasing
Fair enough. It does get spent on the motorist. It's effectively a user pays system and possibly the best way of funding the work that it does. The alternatives are to fund through the consolidated fund - which would mean higher taxes all round - or neglect the roading infrastructure.
Agree FP. I don't have any problems with any form of fair road user charges to pay for infrastructure. My comment was about her mischievously attacking the fuel companies while she leads a Government that takes the lion's share of fuel costs and continually increase it.
Not so sure a fuel levy will be the go for much longer though with increased use of EVs that pay nothing and needs to change..
Meantime I'm happy personally with my hybrid and how little I pay !! Not very fair though.

Bridges was corrupted a long time ago.His weakness is his transparency in his lust for power.He cant hide that. Some people are attracted to this lust, mini mes;)?
Interesting article discussing Nationals economic manifesto. Reads a bit different to the pamphlet in my letter box from Simon summarizing Nationals bottom line.
