Hon WILLIE JACKSON: Kia ora. So on behalf of the Minister, we do agree that families on a benefit will be facing cost of living pressures. Like many families, we knew when we came into Government that people on a benefit were experiencing hardship, which is why we have prioritised them—first through our Families Package, and then through lifting main benefit rates to historical levels. Alongside this, we have raised the abatement threshold, increasing dental grants, and lifting Working for Families tax credits. A report released by Ministry of Social Development (MSD) shows our changes have led to around a 40 percent increase in after-housing cost incomes for those on a main benefit, since 2018. We know beneficiaries do it tough, which is why we have prioritised them. We are working with them and changing things, and hopefully changing their lives.
