That and ending free school lunches for kids in low decile schools. Whatever it take to cut taxs for the rich.

There was a rumour that RUC was going to apply to ALL vehicles
Hopefully that's an across the board increase and not a proportion of what's already paid.
What, a government announcing policy changes they didn't campaign on?? How dare they! It's the end of democracy!! Fascists!!!
But seriously, filling in the potholes is probably a good idea. Building decent roads that don't get so many potholes in the first place would be a better idea. Is that something we simply can't afford anymore, or are the companies we pay to build the roads either incompetent or deliberately creating future work for themselves?

Additional information that I came across on the Newshub site that I haven't seen mentioned anywhere else:
Sent from my SM-S901E using TapatalkCode:This will increase the annual cost of Motor Vehicle Registration (MVR) in 2026 by $50 for most vehicles, $28 for motorcycles, trailers and ATVs and $16.5 for mopeds
There was a Cabinet Minister on TV last week mentioned the government's austerity programme. He may have mentioned that prematurely 'cause nobody has mentioned it that I've seen since. They sure as Hell didn't trumpet an austerity programme during the election campaign. Though it was apparent that the noises Willis and Luxon were making were likely to cause a recession.
Looking on the bright side, when the recession hits we can laugh at the clowns who unwittingly voted for their own misery.

Oh! I thought it was something to do with all the non-road-use of diesel (construction, farming, ...) and the difficulty of having different supplies of road-taxed and non-taxed diesel.
(I think in some countries they have dyes in the diesel so it can be checked the "right kind" (taxed or not) is being used.)
Measure once, cut twice. Practice makes perfect.

Hopefully they'll charge vehicles per wheel? I wouldn't put any money on this happening, I read an article saying they intend to do the charging electronically and we don't have a good track record with IT systems in this country – it'll end up costing four times as much, will take twice as long to deliver, and won't work as intended (if at all).
And what exactly would the benefit be over the existing excise tax, to make it worth making a simple system much more complicated? Isn't that why we can't have GST exemptions (unlike every other country in the world?)
