A really good explanation about how an increase in GST collected on fuel is likely to be offset by a decrease in spending elsewhere.
Also, we’re likely to see a change in behaviour from consumers, likely a decrease in non essential driving. I know I’m considering the driving I do a lot more carefully.
I’ve been pretty disappointed with the way Hipkins has handled this event to be honest.
He’s been very critical of the government, while at the same time refusing to say what Labour would do differently. And my reaction to people like that is typically to tell them to fuck right off.
