In protest of the rising fuel tax and prices, Kiwis are set to boycott petrol stations all around the country.The organizers of the nationwide strike press Kiwis to hold firm on their commitment to boycott petrol stations, despite several petrol stations offering discounts.
The event organizer, Julia Roche stated that “No petrol today until midnight Saturday for two days, if you can, avoiding gas stations completely. They will look to focus on one petrol company at a time, in no particular order, until change happens.”
According to the event page, more than 18,000 people have committed to the boycott with a further 19,000 showing interest in joining the strike. A protester stated that “The only chance a petrol strike can work is if you target one company for a week then all the others on a rotational basis for however long it takes. One day won’t make one ounce of difference.”
