Cost of Living Relief Package w/ Megan Woods and Robert MacCulloch: March 15, 2022

On Monday, the government announced it would be introducing a cost of living relief package to kick in next month. In the wake of criticism over rising fuel prices and living costs increasing, the government is set to cut fuel taxes by 25 cents a litre, and halve all public transport fares.

Christina spoke to the Minister of Energy and Resources, Megan Woods, about the package, and what it means for New Zealanders. She also caught up with Robert MacCulloch, a professor of economics from the University of Auckland, to get his latest thoughts on the government’s announcement.
