How bad will rising inflation be for New Zealand - and Labour?

In his quarterly forecast released last week, Westpac economist Satish Ranchhod said the quarterly inflation figure was set to be "another monster".

The figure of 6.9 per cent that was eventually reported on Thursday is the highest the country has seen in 30 years.

Today, the NZ Herald's business editor-at-large and Money Talks host Liam Dann joins Damien to discuss how this has become one of the biggest political talking points of the year, memories of the last time New Zealand faced inflation like this, and how we can recover from it.
