Jenee Tibshraeny: NZ Herald Wellington business editor on former RBNZ governor Don Brash claiming increased fuel taxes will fight inflation - Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive

Former Reserve Bank governor Don Brash believes the RBNZ should be empowered to lift fuel taxes to fight inflation.

He stated in a blog post that increased fuel taxes would encourage people to to reduce their spending elsewhere- meaning inflation would fall.

NZ Herald Wellington business editor Jenee Tibshraeny says Don Brash's proposed solution is 'messy', and it would impact people differently.
