Hon MICHAEL WOOD: Today also marks one year of paid parental leave being boosted to 26 weeks, so it's a good time that the maximum rate for eligible employees and self-employed people will increase to $621.76 this week from $606.46 per week in the previous year. We're also delivering on our commitment to support the welfare of seafarers by putting seafarer welfare centres on to a sustainable funding footing. These changes show that the Government is committed to decent and dignified work for everyone in New Zealand.
