Jenee Tibshraeny: NZ Herald Wellington business editor on former RBNZ governor Don Brash claiming increased fuel taxes will fight inflation

Former Reserve Bank governor Don Brash believes the RBNZ should be empowered to lift fuel taxes to fight inflation.

He stated in a blog post that increased fuel taxes would encourage people to to reduce their spending elsewhere- meaning inflation would fall.

NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny says Don Brash's proposed solution is 'messy', and it would impact people differently.
