1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:02,520
Speaker 1: In Auckland's regional fuel tax. A lot of things changing

2
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,360
Speaker 1: today being July one, of course, but the fuel tax

3
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: in Auckland that has ended as a result of Petrol's

4
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,240
Speaker 1: eleven and a half cents a liter cheaper as of midnight,

5
00:00:09,280 --> 00:00:12,039
Speaker 1: AA Fuel Prices spokesperson Terry Collins is with us. Terry,

6
00:00:12,080 --> 00:00:14,600
Speaker 1: very good morning, Good morning. Well, we had a chance

7
00:00:14,640 --> 00:00:16,080
Speaker 1: to get you people out there to see if it's

8
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,279
Speaker 1: all happened as per well.

9
00:00:18,480 --> 00:00:20,040
Speaker 2: With a guest by app and a lot of those

10
00:00:20,079 --> 00:00:22,959
Speaker 2: crowd sourced information things, you can start seeing it through

11
00:00:23,120 --> 00:00:26,120
Speaker 2: pretty quickly. With all the media that we've had around it.

12
00:00:26,280 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 2: I think there's plenty of eyes on all the servier stations.

13
00:00:28,720 --> 00:00:30,960
Speaker 1: There will we no reason to believe that something as

14
00:00:30,960 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: simple as a tax that goes can't be seen at

15
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: the petrol pump immediately, is there?

16
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:38,480
Speaker 2: Yeah, there is it look and I think the reason

17
00:00:38,479 --> 00:00:40,000
Speaker 2: why it too is a Comduce commission a couple of

18
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:42,200
Speaker 2: weeks ago put out a report about an effect called

19
00:00:42,200 --> 00:00:45,839
Speaker 2: the rocket and feather That is when the price inputs

20
00:00:46,120 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 2: mean up to say the price of food, when the

21
00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:50,560
Speaker 2: price at the retail pump would rock it up. We

22
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,840
Speaker 2: know same inputs went down. The tricee at the retail

23
00:00:53,840 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 2: pump went down like a feather. I cannot imagine new

24
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:59,480
Speaker 2: or companies wanting to exaggerate that effect or confirm it

25
00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 2: exists by holding off dropping that price today.

26
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,039
Speaker 1: And that's the problem, isn't it, with the complexity of

27
00:01:05,080 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the I mean, this isn't tax isn't complicated at all,

28
00:01:07,400 --> 00:01:11,200
Speaker 1: but the makeup and the inputs into it is. And

29
00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,959
Speaker 1: so in three days time, when something happens to a price,

30
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 1: people are going to go, wait a minute, here is

31
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:17,640
Speaker 1: that the tax or is that the oil? Or is

32
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:19,520
Speaker 1: that the transport? Or is that the dollar?

33
00:01:19,560 --> 00:01:22,240
Speaker 2: And we never know, do we we do, and you're

34
00:01:22,280 --> 00:01:24,680
Speaker 2: exactly right. We've got a bunch of these external ones

35
00:01:24,720 --> 00:01:27,000
Speaker 2: at the price of world refining, hippa it sittry. Then

36
00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:29,440
Speaker 2: we've got the internal ones. Well, the tax stays are same,

37
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 2: we know that, but you've got kind of the margin

38
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:35,280
Speaker 2: shift around and the transport costs. Look at Auckland today.

39
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 2: Is the fifty cents difference between the most expensive and

40
00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:42,240
Speaker 2: the cheapest, so at eleven dollars sorry, eleven and a

41
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:45,119
Speaker 2: half cents at six dollars ninety for sixty Lelli tank.

42
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:47,880
Speaker 2: But fifty cents for sixty dolls a tank. There's thirty

43
00:01:47,920 --> 00:01:50,920
Speaker 2: dollars and I only put a ten kilometer radius on Auckland.

44
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,680
Speaker 1: Yeah that was with them, which it doesn't make it right, Terry,

45
00:01:53,680 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: But I keep saying, if you want to save money

46
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: and you've got an app or whatever, you can do it.

47
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,200
Speaker 1: If you shop around and little.

48
00:02:00,080 --> 00:02:03,640
Speaker 2: Card, can't you, Oh, you desperately can, and just be

49
00:02:03,800 --> 00:02:05,440
Speaker 2: smart about it. If I go on a long trip,

50
00:02:05,560 --> 00:02:08,680
Speaker 2: actually we'll get with say matter matter or something like that. Hey,

51
00:02:08,760 --> 00:02:10,440
Speaker 2: let's to cheap the space or now on my trip,

52
00:02:10,639 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 2: I'll sell up there. If you host these things like that,

53
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:16,520
Speaker 2: no evetomy for the tenth, say thirty dogs. Well that's

54
00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:17,760
Speaker 2: pretty good, so I.
