A National Government will not increase petrol taxes in its first term, offering a clear alternative to Labour's 12 cents per litre tax hike which will only extend the cost-of-living crisis, National's Transport spokesperson Simeon Brown says. "At the checkout counter and the gas station, Kiwis are feeling the pinch of the rising cost of living. National understands that Kiwi households are doing it tough, so we are ruling out any increases to petrol tax in our first term. "Despite the cost-of-living crisis already fleecing hardworking New Zealanders, Labour has committed to increasing petrol taxes by 12 cents per litre, adding salt to the financial wound and inflicting more pain at the pump for Kiwi motorists.
