Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): I do stand by my statement in its full and proper context: "The economy is bigger than before the pandemic, unemployment is at a record low, and exports are growing. The recovery is gaining momentum in the easing of restrictions, and opening up to skilled workers and tourists will help businesses and the economy rebuild." With regard to the second part of the question, I've stated on many occasions that the challenging situation that is being faced by many New Zealand households and businesses is a top priority for the Government. Indeed, as I noted in the same statement that the member has quoted from in her question, "2022 continues to be a challenging year for many New Zealanders facing the impact of global inflation, and our resilience will continue to be tested." That is why the Government has taken a range of steps to support low and middle income earners in particular through this period, through our 1 April package of increases to income support, decreases to fuel excise duty and road user charges, and half-price public transport. I'm well aware that these measures are only a contribution to the increased pressure that a lot of households are facing, but they are consistent with the balanced approach that we have consistently sought in responding to COVID-19, which requires us to target support to where it is needed most while making sure that we don't make the problem of inflation any worse.
