Hon WILLIE JACKSON: No, that's not right, Gerry Brownlee. But on behalf of the Minister, a report released by MSD on the weekend shows that our changes have led to a 40 percent increase in after-housing cost income for those on a main benefit after inflation. Providing support for those on a benefit goes beyond the welfare system. That's why we're addressing these pressures through half-price public transport, free lunches in schools, free period products in schools, and more public housing.
