Sunday 27 October is the 80th birthday of the petrol tax.

Thanks to the petrol tax the main highways in Northland are no longer classified as impassable in wet weather. Auckland has gone from having more dirt roads than any other region to having more morotways than every other region combined.

More information can be found over the coming weeks at

Ta for this. Isnt history wonderful and hindsight great. If only they had spent all this tax on roads, we wouldn't be in the mess we are in today.
