Suze: An Eye Watering Amount of Money Flushed

Last Saturday’s BFD poll asked readers which scam hit New Zealand the harder financially out of two choices: Covid or climate change.

Of course, government policies will inevitably cost more than budgeted government expenditure; for example, climate change policies increased fuel prices by shutting down fossil-fuel development and production, and Covid policies meant lockdowns, which caused business closures and productivity drops.

This discussion simply compares government spending to date on Covid with what they are spending on climate change.
