Simon Parham: Waitomo Group CEO on the Commerce Commission calling out fuel prices ahead of the removal of the Auckland Fuel Tax
A fuel retailer's applauding the Commerce Commission for raising awareness about prices at the pump ahead of the removal of Auckland's fuel tax.
The commission's calling out retailers who lag in dropping prices at the pump, saying it's costing motorists millions each year.

He says it was poorly thought-out tax and it's created complexity for both customers and themselves.
