Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: What we do know is that wages have run in front of inflation in the period leading up to this year, and in 2023 they will again run ahead. In 2022, it is a very difficult and challenging year and it is the reason why we have supported New Zealanders through the cost of living, both with the package on 1 April and the cost of living payment, and measures such as increasing the minimum wage—which the National Party oppose.
