City Counselling w/ Shane Henderson: March 18, 2022

Earlier in the week, Jacinda Ardern announced a temporary slash to the regional fuel taxes and public transport costs across the country.

These cuts are intended to ease the cost of living for New Zealanders and will last for a period of three months.

For this week’s fortnightly chat with Auckland city councillor Shane Henderson as part of the regular city councelling segment, Casper and Shane discussed the announcement, what it will do and whether it might play into permanent policy.

They also discussed the Auckland city councelling budget consultation and why it is important that young people submit to it before it closes. Casper first asked Shane how he feels the announcement will affect Aucklanders.
