Should we ditch vehicle regos and pay more on petrol?
The Government has looked at ditching vehicle regos, and one option to replace it is another hike to the fuel tax.
While in opposition, MP Phil Twyford called the annual vehicle licensing system and its 235,000 fines each year a "giant revenue gathering device".
Now the Minister of Transport, Twyford took official advice on other ways to raise the money, but doesn't plan to pursue changes at the moment.
