Auckland:
‘New road-repair plan from Brown includes higher gas taxes, vehicle fees
…proposal would provide $3.6 billion annually for transportation and includes a new $65 fee for vehicle owners, an 11-cent increase in the diesel tax and a 6-cent hike to the gas tax
would direct $400 million of the funding for local governments toward transit programs like buses and trains..’

Because Kiwi motorists aren’t taxed enough already…
The Left hates the automobile (except for their limos) as much as they hate the gun (except for their armed security guards) – but since they can’t outright ban the car like they have private gun ownership in so many countries, they clearly intend to make the fees associated with keeping the private automobile on the road unaffordable and push the average person onto public transportation.
This way the high roller National Socialists will have the roadway to themselves – and laugh at the peons crowded together on stinking public buses as they pass them on the highways.
Perhaps they’ll get the Russians to send them some Zil limos….
We the people are nothing more than and ATM machine when they want money and a doormat for them to wipe their feet on as they walk over us.Got a letter in the mail yesterday,utility rates are going up again.Third time in five years and there is no excuse for it,except they just want more money for salaries
What’s needed is a taxpayer strike on a huge scale. Let’s see how these leeches would survive then.
Stop driving a car wouldn’t make a difference they would just raise taxes on shoes and socks .

Some great weather you’re having down there. Looks like winter. Still have enough firewood to keep the house warm?

We do, thanks Robert. Thanks to some very kind people, since I’ve been unwell lately.
The kindness of people amazes me always, and I wish there was more I could do to return their efforts.
I’ve said it before, I’m gonna say it again.
Train the NZ Army to build roads like the ancient Roman Legions to build State Highway. Could start small by building a bike track

And I’m gonna keep saying it until someone say’s something better
Never happen, Jamie. It’s much too sensible an idea.
More funding to the defence force? Why, you’d send the leftards into a fit of mass proportions.
They’d get over it once they seen their nice new State Bike-way
Still not.
I’ve never known a leftard to ride a bike. Being a leftard is about demanding other people change their lifestyles. Most leftards I’ve ever known are the most wasteful and environmentally unfriendly wankers in the world. The attitude is “my contribution is my activism”.
A co-worker of mine once passed by a protester camp where the forestry protesters lived during their anti-logging campaigns.
It apparently looked like an open sewer had crashed into a rubbish tip.
