It's been a big year for our welfare system so far, and because of some of the changes we have already started making, our system is fairer and more accessible for the New Zealanders in need of support. Budget 2019 saw an investment in 263 additional employment-focused front-line staff and invested in programmes that support people into work, upskilling, and training. As you will have seen in the select committee report in the 2018/19 financial year, MSD had nearly 25,000 people in employment programmes. For the first time in our history, we have now indexed main benefits to average wage increases. We repealed section 192 of the Social Security Act 2018, or what was formerly section 70A, which reduces a client's benefit if they do not name the other parent of their child and increased main benefit abatement thresholds to match increases in the minimum wage over the next four years to enable people to earn more before their benefit is reduced.
