Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): The Government has moved quickly and decisively to provide significant support to protect New Zealanders' lives and livelihoods in response to the Delta COVID-19 outbreak. The wage subsidy scheme and resurgence support payment were reactivated following the rise in alert levels, along with existing supports such as the leave support scheme, the short-term absence payment, and the Small Business Cashflow (Loan) Scheme. In total, since 17 August, the wage subsidy scheme and resurgence support payment have paid out over $3 billion to New Zealand businesses, made up—as the Prime Minister's just said—of around $2.3 billion in the wage subsidy scheme and just over $800 million in the two resurgence support payments. This is about providing cash flow and confidence to help protect jobs and support New Zealand businesses. We recognise that this has been a tough time for many businesses, and we are here to support them.
