I want to quote from a couple of emails that I got, and I will call this woman Katie. I didn't know her before she sent these emails, but I was really impressed by what she had to say. I didn't ask her for this, but this is what she told me. "I know that going into an election year there will be a lot of … flying around, so I want to give you a perspective from a beneficiary. Since I met you, my financial and life situation have improved enormously. I no longer want to just die. Life is not always easy, but I have enough money to eat well, I can pay all of my bills, and going to WINZ is no longer a desperately miserable experience, and the winter payments actually help. I can afford school fees. I can buy my daughter anything that she needs—luckily, she likes op shopping—and if there is something we want but don't desperately need, we can now plan to save for it. I haven't needed to rely on food parcels or the kindness of others. My mother was close to death before Christmas and I was able to just book a flight and go. She's now OK. This is a thankyou note. I have many things to be grateful for now. This is because of your Government. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Please extend my thanks to the coalition Government."
