Robert Macculloch: Macroeconomics professor discusses how New Zealand will fund our Cyclone Gabrielle recovery

Over the past week, there has been much discussion around how the Government should fund our Cyclone Gabrielle recovery, and whether we should be shoring up existing infrastructure in anticipation of more weather events occurring. Do we borrow? Do we tax? Do we reprioritise spending? In light of the Cyclone disaster, Finance Minister Grant Robertson yesterday left the door open to a review of the Government's no new taxes policy. To discuss, Robert Macculloch, the Matthew S. Abel Professor of Macroeconomics at University of Auckland joined Kerre Woodham. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
