🚨 THIS IS WHY FOOD PRICES ARE ABOUT TO SPIKE 🚨

This is not a warning anymore - it’s already happening.

Freight and transport operators in New Zealand are now saying they cannot absorb rising diesel costs.
Those costs are being passed on.

👉 That means: 
➡️ Higher freight costs
➡️ Higher supermarket prices
➡️ Higher cost of living

WHAT CHANGED?

New Zealand no longer refines its own fuel.

We are now: • Fully dependent on imported refined fuel
• Exposed to offshore pricing (including Singapore refined fuel markets)
• Paying prices driven by global markets — not local control

Right now: 
➡️ Diesel prices are being pushed by international markets
➡️ Refining margins are driving costs even higher
➡️ We have no domestic buffer anymore

AND YET - THE TAX TAKE GOES UP WITH IT

• GST increases automatically as fuel prices rise
• Diesel users still pay Road User Charges (RUCs)
• Essential sectors carry the cost

👉 That cost ends up in YOUR groceries.

THE GOVERNMENT CAN ACT

They have the ability to:

✔ Introduce a GST cap at pre-conflict fuel price levels
✔ Suspend or reduce RUCs temporarily
✔ Take pressure off food and freight sectors

Instead, they’ve chosen not to reduce fuel taxes.

We’ve launched a petition calling for:

• A GST cap on fuel
• Immediate temporary RUC relief
• Recognition that NZ fuel pricing is now driven offshore

BOTTOM LINE:

Diesel goes up - food goes up.

That’s not a theory anymore.
That’s the reality being confirmed by the freight sector right now.
