oh great another tax on the working class. stay at home holidays from now on I guess

Finn Walker2026-06-23T00:06:43.000Z

about time. tourists wreck our roads and beaches and we pay for it. levy them all

Quinn Murphy2026-06-23T00:21:43.000Z

facts. Queenstown is a mess without it

Quinn Murphy2026-06-23T00:23:43.000Z

surprised they haven't done this sooner tbh. every other country has a bed tax lol

Jamie Fox2026-06-23T01:21:43.000Z

lol you think bike lanes are the problem? our water pipes are from the 70s mate

Peyton Hall2026-06-23T00:50:43.000Z

as someone who works in tourism, this is actually needed. infrastructure is crumbling

Finn Walker2026-06-23T01:06:43.000Z

cry more about bike lanes. they save the council money long term

Alex Rivera2026-06-23T01:46:43.000Z
