RICARDO MENÉNDEZ MARCH (Green): Tēnā koe, Madam Speaker. The Green Party proudly supported this year's Budget, because we support an increase in people having more income to live on and to move towards a livable world that protects against the effects of climate change. The reason why we are critical of this bill, and I think it's really telling where the ideology of the National Party is coming from, is because what we have heard in previous speeches is that, ultimately, the purpose of the minimum family tax credit is about keeping a difference in incomes between those that are unemployed and in paid work. It's telling that the National Party is railing against increasing benefits but somehow really proud to support a policy that continues keeping a gap between some of our most vulnerable members of society who have struggled so much for decades.
