The transport industry is warning everyone will feel the pain if fuel tax increases.
\\nThe Government is proposing a 12 cent rise over the next three years, to fund infrastructure, road maintenance, upgrades and public transport.
\\nMore than a dozen routes will be prioritised - from State Highway 1 linking Warkworth to Whangarei, right down to a second bridge for Ashburton.
\\nTransporting NZ Interim CEO, Dom Kalasih told Kate Hawkesby trucking costs would rise by 13 percent.
\\nHe says motorists will be hit twice by more expensive fuel and increases to goods.
