Petrol price rise

Reporter Western Leader

We have been hearing a lot about the theoretical difficulties some people will face with the rise in petrol prices. But we haven't really heard from Aucklanders facing this increase in their budgets. Do you do a long commute every day? Will you be facing a big jump in your petrol costs? I would love to speak with you. I can be contacted on debrin.foxcroft@stuff.co.nz Thanks!

Amazingly quiet night in Green Bay

Markus from Green Bay

All the Best for the New Year! The last few years they started banging days earlier already, but this year it was amazingly quiet. Now either people suddenly got smart and care about animals and the environment (which I don’t believe for a second) or it’s the clearest sign of the Cost of Living Crisis we are in. I’m just glad I can make a damn fine bread for under a dollar.
