Episode Details

Fuel tax showdown heats up as Labour promises to freeze taxes for three years, while the current government spreads planned increases over time—five cents every six months starting 2028. Both sides clash over costs: National warns of a $4.6 billion hole under Labour’s plan, which Chris Hipkins dismisses as inflated and “a lot less” than claimed. Labour vows to prioritize road maintenance and public transport without big new projects, while the government assures $1.5 billion will fund infrastructure using its rainy day reserve. The battle rages on until election figures are released.
