Barry Soper: senior political correspondent on the current fuel tax cut and half priced public transport being extended until June - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Prime Minister Chris Hipkins has extended fuel tax cuts and half-priced public transport until June 30th.

This is a reversal of an earlier Government decision to scrap these offerings by the end of March.

ZB's senior political correspondent Barry Soper says this will likely add to inflation, as the extra money saved will be sucked into the economy and drive up prices.
