Tauranga Grey Power member Doug Wilson is just about at the end of his tether after fielding hundreds of calls over the past few weeks from people complaining about the government's proposed plans to raise GST to 15 per cent.
As Grey Power's events and entertainment coordinator at the organisation's headquarters at the Historic Village, Doug is responsible for answering calls from members and the public.

Doug Wilson has been inundated with people complaining about a possible GST rise.

For the past few weeks Doug has received dozens of calls every day from people concerned about the proposed GST rise.
"They're not just Grey Power members. It's people from all walks of life."
He believes there is strong concern in the Tauranga community regarding a possible GST rise and is urging people to take action.
"What annoys me is the bellyaching. But are they willing to take their concerns to the streets?"
Doug is organising a silent march against a GST rise on Saturday, April 10.
He is urging all of those concerned about GST to participate in the march, which will start at Memorial Park and finish at the Masonic Park.
"This is the time the public should join together as a family unit."
