Newstalk ZB's Political Editor Jason Walls and Infometrics Chief Executive and Principal Economist Brad Olsen join Matt Heath and Tyler Adams to unpack Budget 2025.
They look through the big ticket announcement about the Government cutting their KiwiSaver contributions while requiring employers to cough up more.
Finance Minster Nicola Willis also revealed a $1 billion increase in funding for hospitals, more funding for learning support coordinators in schools, and changes to benefit rates for young people.
