BROOKE VAN VELDEN (Deputy Leader—ACT): Thank you, Mr Speaker. ACT, over the last few weeks, has been travelling around New Zealand, listening to the concerns of real New Zealanders, and we've been hosting old-fashioned town hall meetings to hear from people in person. Over the last few weeks, we have met with over 2,500 New Zealanders at town halls up and down this country. We've been hearing the real stories about how New Zealanders have been affected by the cost of living crisis. People are finding it harder and harder to get ahead. But, not only that, they're finding it harder and harder even to stand still, whether it's just going and filling up the car to be able to get to work and drop their kids off at school or netball, whether it's finding enough money to make sure you have enough food for your kids for their school that week, or whether it's making sure you've got enough to put aside for paying the rent and the gas bills, paying for your mortgage. It is harder and harder for people to put those cents together.
