Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): I continue to acknowledge that New Zealand families are facing significant financial pressure right now from inflation, which is being driven by global factors, including the impact of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. The Government has invested in supporting low and middle income New Zealanders through the pandemic and the elevated levels of inflation that are being experienced. As I've already mentioned in the House, we're taking action through Budget 2022 to address some of this pressure, including through the family tax credit, which would see $20 per week on average for more than 340,000 families. I would note to the member that his party's proposals would do very little for the people of Kaikohe who are mentioned in the story in his question, giving the one-third of them who are on $30,000 a year or less, $2.15 per week, while giving MPs in this House nearly 10 times that amount.
