How does the current cost of fuel affect you?

Georgia Reporter from Stuff

Hi neighbours,

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!

Poll: Have you ever had a scary flight?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?

Mobility Parks

Max & Lizzie from Kairanga

I am not only wondering about our Town Planner and their use of common sense, but our Parking Team. If any of you have been to City Doctors on Victoria, in a Mobility Van, can you tell me how you are supposed to safely get your passengers out of the van, into oncoming traffic. The park provided is so unsuitable for the purpose it is designed and URGENTLY needs sorting. It has now become a revenue item for Parking enforcement as drivers can either risk their passengers or pull forward onto the footpath to enable them to safely disembark their passengers. This is so irresponsible of Parking Department and of City Doctors for not insisting on safe parking for their patients. Please feel free to email the Council Parking Department on behalf of our disabled community. Stuff perhaps you could help, would be nice if this could be sorted before someone is hit!
