Tariffs across the ditch are getting scrapped to lower living costs and some are asking if New Zealand should follow suit.
Australia will remove import taxes on a wide range of goods from July to bring cost-of-living relief.
It will streamline $9 nine billion worth of annual trade and save businesses over $30 million yearly.
Business NZ's Catherine Beard told Mike Hosking that we got rid of most tariffs in the 1980s, there’s just a few left.
She says it's a legacy of the past —as most of them left are between 5-10%— and aren't doing much.
