flag Te Pāti Māori urges suspension of New Zealand’s fuel excise tax to help low-income, rural households with high transportation costs.

flag Te Pāti Māori is urging New Zealand’s government to suspend the fuel excise tax to ease financial pressure on low-income, rural, and isolated households that depend on personal vehicles. flag The party says removing the tax, which adds about $35 to a 50-litre fuel fill, would provide immediate relief amid rising living costs. flag Co-leader Rawiri Waititi highlighted the disproportionate impact on access to work, healthcare, and essentials, criticizing the government’s lack of investment in public transport and calling for urgent action to prevent worsening hardship.
