The Trans Tasman Pol Pod Episode 18

The no BS Budget is being called BS by some sectors as support for the Government's financial blueprint divides along ideological lines...The Government has rushed a new Finance Amendment Bill into Parliament, doing away with Wellbeing Budgets and "enhancing the transparency and accountability of the public finance system."  KiwiBank is pressing the RBNZ to make faster cuts to the OCR and as people struggle with the cost of food, farmers are coining it on international markets - but they're still getting more Government support with a new 2 million dollar fund to support the Wellbeing of rural communities. Our guest this week is BusinessDesk founding editor Pattrick Smellie, who talks about the no BS Budget.
