	Description:		A price freeze on essential items is being floated as one solution to the sky-rocketing cost of living. Inflation is now at its highest level in a generation. Maori Council chairman Matthew Tukaki says many families are struggling to cope, with children returning to school. He told Tim Dower it's creating a perfect poverty storm and something needs to be done to alleviate pressure. “It’s also not about people on very low incomes. We’re now seeing an increase in middle-class New Zealand who are also under mass pressure.” LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
