Analysis by Bryce Edwards. This week’s Budget is a chance for the Labour Government to take the crisis of poverty and inequality seriously. They can do this by delivering something serious or even transformational for those suffering at the bottom of the heap in New Zealand.

Analysis by Keith Rankin. Last week, out of left field, the government placed a three-year embargo on normal public sector wage bargaining, essentially a salary freeze. While there has been a certain amount of backtracking since, it is clear that the government has been very committed to ‘fiscal consolidation’ (aka ‘austerity’). What were they thinking? ... <a title="Keith Rankin Analysis – The New Zealand Government’s ‘Public Finance Rabbithole’" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2021/05/12/keith-rankin-analysis-the-new-zealand-governments-public-finance-rabbithole/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Analysis – The New Zealand Government’s ‘Public Finance Rabbithole’">Read more</a>
