BRADEN FASTIER / STUFF/Nelson Mail Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern and key Labour MPs visits a Kainga Ora home in Richmond, during the away Labour Caucus in Nelson.

But, despite all the chatter about house prices, keeping inflation under control is the Reserve Bank governor’s actual job. Otherwise, the little niggles of Covid normality could start to add up.
