November 5, 2022
A new Herald poll showed the global cost-of-living crisis is by far the most important issue for New Zealanders right now – with 56 per cent ranking the issue the most important issue facing the country – well above climate change (12 per cent), crime (11 per cent), the Covid-19 pandemic (8 per cent) and social division (8 per cent).
By gender, higher proportions of women (65 per cent) said the cost-of-living was the most important issue facing the country than men (46 per cent).
