Nicola Willis: Finance Minister on the Government extending the temporary fuel support measures

from The SME Stream · host iHeartRadio NZ

The Finance Minister says fuel support will stay in place until the Government is confident prices won't spike again.  It's extending the in-work tax credit, higher mileage rates for health workers and eligible patients, and reimbursements for relievers.  That's despite average pump prices sitting below $3 for four weeks.  Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking the measures will return to Cabinet once prices fall below that mark again.  She says it's important to note that the support can only come back with legislation - which isn't easy.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
