Efforts to bail out the economy don’t come cheap. We’ve recently seen the Government forgo hundreds of millions of dollars in taxes to keep this price of petrol down amid the war in Ukraine – this comes after billions have already been spent keeping us afloat during Covid. So how much longer can this level of spend continue?

Today, NZ Herald Business Editor at Large and Money Talks host joins Damien to discuss the tightrope the government is walking as it tries to control inflation while also ensuring the nation doesn’t slip into a recession.
