ACT leader David Seymour says the Government should stick to a planned increase to petrol taxes, despite the Middle East conflict driving up fuel prices. 

Transport Minister Chris Bishop has claimed it's 'unlikely' the taxes will go up by the planned 12 cents per litre early next year.

David Seymour says no one knows what the fuel prices will be like by 2027 - and we shouldn't cancel the increase as a result.

"The roads do need to be built, they do need to be maintained and the National Land Transport Fund is actually not funded by taxpayers, it's exclusively funded by road user charges and the excise tax on petrol."

The spike in fuel thefts has lead to police encouraging petrol stations to utilise pre-pay in order to bring crime down. Do we think this is a good idea?

Chris Hipkins has apologised after making a comment Nicola Willis took objection to. Do we think this was out of line?
