The leftist government of New Zealand will begin handing out millions of checks in an attempt to fight inflation, despite government spending typically being a key contributor to inflation.
In order to supposedly combat inflation, which has risen to a 30-year-high in New Zealand, Finance Minister Grant Robertson announced on Thursday that the Labour Party-controlled government would be issuing 350NZD ($225/£180) in checks to some 2.1 million Kiwis in weekly payments over the next three months.

Must be they’re afraid of the population so they’ll do a few hand outs to pacify them. Money does talk.

Then when inflation continues to go up, they’ll say it’s because they didn’t give out enough free money the first time. The NZ MSM will enthusiastically agree.

Anyone supporting this is just outing themselves as somebody whom has zero clue about what causes inflation and how economies actually work.
Unreal.

It doesn’t make sense until you remember: Leftists ALWAYS lie. They lie at all times. They would rather climb a tree to tell a lie than stand on the ground and tell the truth.
They know full well this won’t fight inflation. They are only citing inflation as a pretext to do something they want. In this case, redistribution of wealth.

...zero clue about what causes inflation.. If there was anything I could teach to a low information voter it would be that inflation is a tax on the poor. We all know it is more than 8%, they simply redefine the items used for the count.

Money talks. It did coax Georgia into voting Dem in 2020.
