I was quite happy to pay the increase when the Arab countries cut the oil and would be again if it would end the brutal military occupation of Palestine. |

| 1487426 | 2022-07-17 19:57:00 | In part the current high prices are designed to force people out of private vehicles and onto public transport. The deliberate destruction of our domestic oil and gas industry in the name of saving the planet from "Climate Change" also has a lot to do with it. | CliveM (6007) | ||

| 1487428 | 2022-07-17 22:54:00 | Gulp, according to the Reserve Bank HERE (infcal.rbnz.govt.nz) 11348 What a useful calculator: Housing that cost $1.00 in quarter 1 of 1979 would have cost $34.83 in quarter 4 of 2021 Total percentage change 3,382.6% 1979 was when we bought our house. First one anyway. Wages of $1.00 in quarter 1 of 1979 would have been $8.70 in quarter 1 of 2022 Total percentage change 769.9% |

| 1487430 | 2022-07-18 02:26:00 | Nothing has changed, it took so much of my wage when I filled my S11 Morris Oxford up in 1977 and same in filling my S1 Ford Ka up now. Although I am better off because the KA is good for almost 50 mpg, the Oxford 27 mpg. I can only put it down to a not important first world problem. Meanwhile a war rages in Ukraine caused by Russian aggression and self centered New Zealanders worry about negligible things like price rises covid and inflation. The malls are full, the Auckland motorways are back to normal, people are getting servo food. The problem may be the handed down Pommy whine gene hopefully Darwin's law will kill it over time. We dont know how lucky we are. |
