Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: The Government is acutely aware that many New Zealanders are doing it tough, and we are taking action to support them. We've boosted the incomes of seniors, students in low-income families, while a million New Zealanders are receiving the winter energy payment. From next Monday, the targeted cost of living payment will deliver around $27 a week for low and middle income New Zealanders aged 18 years and over who don't get the winter energy payment. In response to high fuel prices, which have been significantly driven by the war in the Ukraine, we have cut the fuel excise duty and road-user charges, and halved public transport costs. Last week, we extended these reductions until the end of January next year to give people certainty over the coming months as prices continue to move around at the pump. As we've acknowledged many times in this House, 2022 is a tough year and it is a volatile and uncertain environment for Kiwis. However, we are in a strong position to deal with this and we are supporting those most in need.
