Andrew Dickens Afternoons

Talkback callers have made it clear they are not on board with the latest fuel hikes. Petrol prices have increased by 3.5 cents a litre as a new excise tax was introduced.It is the first of a series of increases that will come over the next few years, as the Government looks for more funding for their transport program.Callers to Andrew Dickens Afternoon slammed the added charges, with some saying it will hurt the poorest New Zealanders the most. One caller, using the name Marcus, says he works at a petrol station and that people are not saving as much as they think they are, even when using discount cards and tricks to maximise their savings. LISTEN TO THE TALKBACK FEEDBACK ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
