From Morning Report, 8:10 am on 3 November 2022

The Finance Minister says addressing inflation without increasing unemployment is a difficult balancing act.

Grant Robertson told Morning Report he's proud of the low unemployment rate and doesn't want to see people losing their jobs.

But he says most forecasters do expect unemployment to rise.

Grant Robertson says the National Party's proposed tax changes would make inflation worse.
