SIMEON BROWN (National—Pakuranga): Well, thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate the opportunity to take a call on the Taxation (Cost of Living Payments) Bill, which is now at the committee of the whole House stage. It's quite ironic that this particular Part 1, which is about interpretation and setting up the cost of living payments scheme, is even called the "cost of living payment scheme". It says "to provide financial support to certain low- and middle-income persons affected by an increase in the cost of living". Well, quite ironically, it's a $1 a day payment, actually less than a dollar a day payment. It says here "affected by an increase in the cost of living". I'm not sure whether this Government actually understands what is happening in New Zealand right now with the cost of living. In fact, all the one-termers over the other side who've been taking calls in the previous debates, trying to explain how much they care—how much they care. This was only dreamt up two weeks ago. This Government doesn't care. They're just reacting and responding because the reality is that New Zealanders are facing a cost of living crisis.
