#BHN $60 a week rent demanded by advocacy group, Petrol prices "tumble" and Luxon on RNZ

Tenants Action Wellington is protesting landlords and rental prices with a list of ten demands including "All rent prices are permanently lowered to 25 percent of the lowest benefit." and "Landlords cannot ask prospective tenants for credit checks, employment history or any other references." and finally "No entering the property uninvited AT ALL. Flat inspections are abolished." We delve into the reality of this Petrol prices "tumble" around NZ, but are you aware how little people pay for 'gas' in the US both now at their peak...and what it was just a few years ago...you might be surprised why anyone would get out of a petrol based car when you see how cheap it is to fuel a car in the States Christopher Luxon was on RNZ this morning with a barrage of questions by host Susie Fergusson about if he was "misleading" the country with recent Facebook posts...never actually getting to the question of, even if he was...what did it matter? Duncan Grieve described the situation in The Spinoff as a "very much a minor cock-up, and nothing like the major conspiracy Ferguson's relentlessness suggests." We still think the conversation isn't about the Facebook posts, but Luxon's apparent desperate attempt to not acknowledge his wealth and hide his privileged lifestyle and some in the media seem to be picking up on that today. https://thespinoff.co.nz/media/28-07-2022/the-te-puke-affair-how-morning-report-saw-a-social-media-flub-and-smelled-a-cover-up
