Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: We recognise that the Government must provide further support to the economy to ensure that a recovery will take hold. The measures we announced today are aimed at boosting demand and supporting households through the first phase of the recovery. The package comprises a $25 across the board increase to main benefits, scheduled for implementation on 1 April 2020; a doubling of the amount paid through the winter energy payment for 2020; and removing the hours test from the in-work tax credit to assist those who may face variable hours as a result of the virus. Ultimately, the recovery package will go well beyond these measures. These measures represent the first phase of an ongoing commitment from the Government to New Zealanders to support us through this time.
