The rates debate: are we getting our money’s worth?
If you’re interested in dollars and sense when it comes to how your rates are spent, join one of New Zealand’s leading economic commentators Brad Olsen as he tackles the knotty topic of local council rates, what they pay for and the impact of central government decisions on local government wallets. Brad is passionate about using economics to make better informed decisions and has the ability to communicate complex and detailed trends in a simple, relatable, and useful way. Come along to hear Brad’s take on rates and whether you’re getting your money’s worth.
