Peters officially posts new diplomatic appointments – Jones has yet to do the same with changes to fishing rules

A slew of new diplomatic appointments has been announced by Foreign Minister Winston Peters while Transport Minister Simeon Brown at last has got around to having the Government decision to axe the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax posted on the government ‘s official website.

Heather du Plessis-Allan: Good riddance to the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax

It's official, the Auckland Regional Fuel Tax is gone-burger from 1 July.

Aucklanders will not have to pay $11.5 cents a litre more than everyone else in the country every time they fill up their cars. Toyota Hilux drivers will save $9.20 a fill and Toyota Corolla drivers will save $5.75 a fill.

Good riddance to bad rubbish.

That was a rort, wasn’t it? Remember what Auckland was supposed to get for that?
