A fascinating idea

Don Brash has floated a fascinating idea. To give the Reserve Bank Governor a second tool for fighting , apart from raising interest .  It is to increase and decrease the as a way to take the heat out of the economy without impacting exporters so much through high interest rates leading to a high dollar.

I'd love to see some modelling on this proposal – how much does a change in petrol prices affect consumption and spending etc.
