Azaria Howell: Newstalk ZB political reporter on what the recent GDP figures say about the economy
New reports show the economy is worse off than previously thought and it's sparked debate about what - or who - is to blame.
GDP data shows the economy shrunk 0.9 percent in the June quarter - a more significant dip than the 0.3 percent forecast by the Reserve Bank and similar figures from most economists.
Newstalk ZB political reporter Azaria Howell says economic conservatives are calling for a bigger reduction in spending, while Labour has called for the whole Government to resign.
