Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): This Government is committed to addressing poverty and hardship in Aotearoa. We are the first Government to measure child poverty and hold ourselves accountable to addressing it. In our first hundred days last term, we invested $5.5 billion into our Families Package to boost the income of low and middle income families. We've since lifted main benefits and indexed them to wages, raised abatement thresholds, and invested significantly into supporting people into work. We know we have much more to do. We have a programme of work which we are conducting on the back of the Welfare Expert Advisory Group's report. New steps will come out of this work, as outlined in our Cabinet paper, and any announcements will be made in due course.
