Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): Talofa, Mr Speaker, ia manuia le Vaiaso o le Gagana Samoa. In Budget 2021 the Government announced that weekly main benefit rates will increase by between $32 and $55 per adult by 1 April 2022. These are the biggest benefit increases in a generation. The Budget 2021 benefit increases, alongside the changes we've made since 2018, mean that 109,000 families and whānau with children will be, on average, $175 a week better off compared to 2017. This Budget finally reverses the welfare cuts of the 1991 "mother of all Budgets". It not only rights a wrong but it puts more money into the pockets of New Zealanders who need it, and it is money that will go right back into our economy, helping to secure our recovery.
