Fuel Tax Increases w/ Dr Timothy Welch: August 21, 2023

Last week, the Government announced it's 20 billion dollar transport plan for the next three years, investing in road maintenance, public transport, and cycleway improvements. Among this, a 12 cent per litre fuel tax increase over 3 years, the first fuel tax increase since they were frozen in 2020. 

Rosetta spoke to Dr Timothy Welch, senior lecturer from the Unviersity of Auckland School of Architecture and Planning, about the fuel tax increase and what more needs to be done within transport policy.
