Taxpayer Talk: Nick Stewart on Rates Driving Inflation
Published 1 year ago
Description
This week on Taxpayer Talk, Peter Williams sits down with financial advisor and Stewart Group founder Nick Stewart to tackle a question too many councils would rather avoid: are skyrocketing rates making inflation worse?
Nick explains how council spending flows through to households and businesses, pushing up the cost of living just as families are already struggling. Rates might look like a local issue, but the ripple effects are felt nationwide.
If you’ve ever wondered why your grocery bill feels higher every time the council votes through another rates hike, this episode is a must-listen.
