Petrol Rip Off.
I see with all the crying the last week about the government petrol tax and the rip off it is today I have seen a price increase of 6 and 8 cents a litre. Let us put that into context. Oil has dropped by 6 dollars a barrel which normally equates too a 1 cent drop in petrol per dollar . In Other words it should be 6 cent drop in price. Add to that the Kiwi has improved slightly so that should have assisted the drop but no the petrol companies have put what amounts to a 12 cent increase. ( 6 cents it should have dropped and the 6 cent increase . ) What should we do , I know blame Labor for another added tax increase while the major petrol companies rub their hands with glee and think of those overseas holidays they will be getting with the added profits..
Poll: Do you think banning gang patches is reasonable?
With the government cracking down on gangs, it is now illegal for gang members to display their insignia in public places whether through clothing or their property.
This means arrests can be made if these patches are worn in places like restaurants, shops, on public transport or ferries, and on airplanes. Arrests were made recently at a funeral.
Do you think this ban is reasonable?

Poll: Should all neighbours have to contribute to improvements?
An Auckland court has ruled a woman doesn’t have to contribute towards the cost of fixing a driveway she shares with 10 neighbours.
When thinking about fences, driveways or tree felling, for example, do you think all neighbours should have to pay if the improvements directly benefit them?
