Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: As I have consistently answered in this House: from the moment we took office, we worked very hard to ensure that we saw wages increase at a faster rate than inflation—and we did that. Right now, though, I absolutely accept that New Zealand, alongside the UK, alongside the United States, Scotland, Ireland, are all reporting the impact of the increase in the cost of living as a result of an increase in inflation—and add to that the war in Ukraine, which is putting pressure on energy prices. So we're all experiencing that. The debate we're having in this House is whether or not a cut to the top tax rate, as the member is proposing, which would come at a cost of $600 million, is the answer, or whether or not, as we propose, continuing to support low and middle income earners across a range of areas is the answer.
