The latest surge in fuel prices, and disruptions to supply chains - are being felt at the pump, but not yet at the checkout.

Stats NZ is due to release its latest monthly inflation update on Friday.

But new data from Infometrics and Foodstuffs shows grocery-supplier-cost-inflation actually dropped in March, from 2.3 percent to just 2.1.

Vegetables New Zealand Chair John Murphy says told Mike Hosking rising costs are yet to translate into higher prices.

He says suppliers appear to be absorbing the higher costs so far, but it's unclear what will happen next.

Prime Minister Christopher Luxon joined Mike Hosking in studio to discuss two major policy changes announced last week - abolishing fees free study, and raising the age of superannuation. 

Luxon said that although the changes may not be 'politically popular' they are important, and other party's aren't brave enough to agree. 

"I think they're being quite dishonest in terms of not facing up to the challenge that we've got and I think just chucking it down the road to the kids and grandkids isn't the right way," he said. 

"So, I get it's not politically popular, but actually we should have a bigger conversation and a debate about it."

Independent Economist and Property Commentator Tony Alexander regularly surveys real estate agents. 

His latest survey found that 44% feel prices are falling in the area, 51% see fewer people that open homes, and 50% are seeing fewer investors.

Alexander contributes this to a number of reasons including global conflict and job instability, but first-home buyers are remaining strong.

In an investigation of all New Zealand private schools the NZ Herald found that more colleges than ever are charging $30,000-plus in tuition fees with an average 4.2% tuition rise this year, the smallest increase in three years.

Independent Schools of New Zealand CEO Guy Pascoe told Mike Hosking the jump in fees can be attributed to rising cost of living, but that hasn't impacted tuition numbers.

"We still see pretty strong demand across our schools," he said.
