David Seymour: Associate Finance Minister on GDP growth contracting and putting New Zealand into a technical recession

Tough economic choices are on the horizon for the Government. GDP slipped 0.1 percent in 2023's last quarter, the second of negative growth in a row. Associate Finance Minister David Seymour says the previous Government left plenty of fiscal cliffs. He says it's unfortunate there isn't more money to go around. "I don't think there's a single person around the Cabinet Table who doesn't want to pay New Zealand police officers a lot more money. I know I do, they're some of the greatest New Zealanders."
