Cameron Bagrie: Economist says we need inflation assistance to be targeted to those most in need
A scatter gun approach to the cost of living.
The OECD says the Government needs to do more in the inflation fight, arguing for more targeted spending, which could include delaying some infrastructure plans.
Economist Cameron Bagrie says we have petrol relief and a transport package for everybody and 2.1 million people getting a cash injection.
But he told Andrew Dickens you want assistance to be targeted to those most in need.
Bagrie says we need to look at maybe expanding Working for Families, or the timing of construction projects.
