Regional Petrol Taxes
I agree with the rumoured regional petrol taxes - although I think the proposal of 60 cents a litre in Auckland is made by someone really out of touch with Aucklanders - but consider the following statement:
"The excise duty raised under the bill will provide the funding necessary to achieve the Government's priorities for land transport." - Mark Gosche, then Minister of Transport, speaking to a bill raising petrol taxes by 4.7c per litre on 28 February 2002.

To be fair Mike, Hubbard said the 60c increase would be the amount required to meet infastructure requirements. Not sure what those requirements were though...
