Rt Hon WINSTON PETERS: The Government's response, both at home and abroad, focuses squarely on those most vulnerable to COVID-19. Older people are disproportionately affected by COVID-19, and that will guide this Government's response to the virus. Naturally, many older people will be concerned about the ramifications of COVID-19 both as a health and economic risk. Rest assured the Government is helping: included in our $12.1 billion economic package announced today is a doubling of the winter energy payments, and this will now equal $1,400 for couples and $900 for single people. We live in unprecedented times, but just as our forefathers triumphed in their own battles, we expect New Zealanders will work together to defeat this virus and move forward to build a better New Zealand.
