Cost of Living Index 2016

Has anyone seen the cost of living index released recently? I'm surprised of most NZ cities have fared:

24 Hamilton, New Zealand
33 Auckland, New Zealand
47 Christchurch, New Zealand
48 Wellington, New Zealand

I'm really surprised that Wellington was far below Perth (22) and Auckland well below Sydney (28):

Does anyone else agree with me? 15% GST on all items including food (in comparison to Australia 10% GST excl food), high fuel prices and high rents makes me think Wellington and Auckland are far more expensive to live than they have been ranked. :(
