Brad Olsen: Infometrics economist says Government's unrevealed $1B an 'odd approach'

from The Mike Hosking Breakfast · host Newstalk ZB

The Government has quietly set aside $1 billion from next year's Budget but is refusing to say where it'll go. It amounts to 22 million dollars in 2027/28, before ramping up over a four-year period. Infometrics principal economist Brad Olsen told Heather du Plessis-Allan that this is not a common occurance. "That is just a little bit of an odd approach," he said.  LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
