Description:

As the Government prepares to unveil the 2022 budget, several stories in recent weeks have drawn attention to several controversial spending decisions - from $21 million on consultants and contractors as part of its Three Waters plan, to $10,000 on two large propss as part of its Road to Zero campaign.

So is this spending justified, or is it emblematic of a Government that’s a bit too loose with the purse strings?

Today, Newstalk ZB political reporter Aaron Dahmen joins Damien to make sense of the Government’s spending habits.
