This week on the Inside Parliament podcast Political Editor Jessica Mutch and political reporter Katie Bradford look at Labour's proposal to introduce a regional and national fuel tax.

The proposed tax will raise the price of fuel 12 cents a litre over the next three years.

Auckland is expected to be hit the hardest with both the regional and national tax proposed for the city.

Labour says the hike in the price of fuel will cost less than a cup of coffee a week and will enable the government to improve the country's transport system.
