We may only be a few months into 2023, but the cost-of-living is already set to dominate our year.  

As prices for common goods soar, Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has made the cost of living a key focus of the election by culling a number of government projects to fund a support package. 

To help put the crisis into perspective, the Herald has launched a price tracker today to highlight some of the rising costs hitting the average consumer right now. 

Today, Damien talks first with NZ Herald data journalist Julia Gabel to shine some perspective on the realities of rising inflation, before being joined by NZ Herald political editor Claire Trevett to give insight into Hipkins and his policy bonfire.
