Last Monday, the 11-strong Labour Pasifika caucus started its post-Budget engagements in Takanini and Papakura. We spoke to community leaders and we spoke to them about how our cost of living package intends to ease the impacts on households, such as excise duty and road-user charges cuts to be extended for another two months, about half-price public transport extended and for community services card holders to be extended permanently. Around 2.1 million people will be eligible for the cost of living payment. As I said in the House two weeks ago, that is the population of Auckland, parts of Wellington, and Christchurch: 2.1 million people.
