Fuel Price Shock: Is Christopher Luxon Losing The Room?

Описание: New Zealand was banking on an economic turnaround this year, but a massive spike in global oil prices has put those hopes at risk. With oil hitting over 100 dollars a barrel, the impact is being felt at the pump and in our shops immediately. Duncan looks at the latest polling and the intense frustration growing among voters who feel the government is out of touch with the daily struggle.

Carolyn Young from Retail NZ joins the show to explain how shipping disruptions and fuel costs are forcing retailers to their breaking point. From grocery shelves to courier fees, the ripple effect of the Iran conflict is hitting little New Zealand hard. We explore whether the government has any moves left or if they are simply at the mercy of global events.
