Terry Collins: AA Fuel Spokesperson on the Government pushing back and reducing the fuel tax hike

from Early Edition with Ryan Bridge · host Newstalk ZB

The Government's being criticised for giving the country the run-around with next year's fuel tax.   It's cancelled the 12 cent per litre hike and equivalent lift to road user charges that were set to take effect in January.   The next rise of five cents a litre now kicks in from January 2028.   AA Fuel Spokesperson Terry Collins told Ryan Bridge the Land Transport Fund has been under stress because it's unable to get enough money to do the work that's needed.  He says any time there's funding uncertainty or money is removed from it, it adds to the problem, kicking it down the road and making it bigger in the future.  LISTEN ABOVE  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
