Dr DEBORAH RUSSELL (Labour—New Lynn): Let me tell you what motivates this bill. It is a simple question: how can we help low and middle income New Zealanders? How can we help people who are doing it tough because there is a worldwide inflation problem? How can we help people in this country who don't get benefits, don't get the winter energy payment, and don't get super? What can we do for people who some on other side like to refer to as the squeezed middle? The answer is that we have a cost of living package that is designed to help exactly those people. It's based around cutting transport costs and putting some money in people's back pockets. That is what motivates this bill.
