Wellington’s City Missioner is echoing National’s claims of a living cost crisis. Christopher Luxon has painted a picture of New Zealanders being squeezed by rising taxes and high inflation. If he becomes Prime Minister he’d repeal all of Labour’s taxes or added levies introduced since 2017. Jacinda Ardern says she wouldn't describe the situation as a crisis, but says people are certainly feeling an impact. But Wellington Missioner Murray Edridge told Mike Hosking things are incredibly tough out there. “Most of us, we don’t even understand what that looks like. We’re worried about the price of petrol and other things, these people aren’t worried about that, they’re just worried about surviving.” LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
