National's Cost of Living Plan w/ Shane Reti: February 7, 2023

With the election coming up this year we’re starting to see the formation of concrete policy platforms with one major topic this election being the cost of living.

Prime Minister Hipkins calls their approach a focus on ‘bread and butter issues’ whereas National has come out with a 5-point plan to ‘get inflation under control’.

Casper discussed this plan with National's Shane Reti, beginning by asking him to explain the first point, a proposal to end the reserve bank’s dual mandate.
