Great, time to sell the car and buy a horse. Ffs

the government just approved another offshore drilling permit. absolute joke.

Still paying off the last price spike and these clowns just keep pushing it up. Must be nice sitting in an office while the rest of us lose money on every delivery run.

absolutely. everyone in the industry is feeling it. bosses just say 'work harder' while their profits go up.

It’s almost like maybe we should invest in public transport instead of subsidising petrol cars year after year… just a thought 🙄

you'd rather burn the planet for your ute? typical

This economist has been saying 'it's almost over' for six months. Muppet.

This is what happens when you elect a government that rolls over for foreign oil companies! Nats and Labour both useless as each other. Time for a real Kiwi party that puts our people first! 🇳🇿🔥
