Over the past year, in various roles, I have been quizzing the Reserve Bank Governor and the Minister of Finance about the inevitable place we have found ourselves, and probably are going to, in terms of inflation, and the Government spending is a contribution and a driver of that inflation. All we've heard from the Minister of Finance is equivocation and avoidance and "Not my problem.", and "Isn't there something going on in the Ukraine?", and "We're kind of about the middle of the OECD." This Government needs to take responsibility for profligate spending in a heated economy driving prices when supply is low. I mean, it's fourth-form economics. It was predictable 18 months ago. It's going to take another 18 months to get under control even if the Government takes the steps that it needs to take in order to get the inflation curve going back to within the Reserve Bank range of 1 percent to 3 percent. And not only are they not doing that, they are adding fuel to the inflationary fire by the spending that they continue to do in the name of wellbeing. Well, the legacy we're going to leave our children and grandchildren is hardly wellbeing for them. It's kicking the can down the road, but the can is getting heavier and they can't kick it far enough for them not to be able to take responsibility for their decisions. That reckoning is coming in the next 12 months.
