Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: An excellent question. The Ministry of Social Development (MSD) has reported that benefit numbers trended downwards for the first two months of this year. Despite the challenging environment, there have been more people coming off the benefit and going into work in the last three months than in any December to February period since the year 2000. The Government has boosted its employment services, and I want to congratulate the Minister for Social Development and MSD for their excellent work in increasing significant investment in upskilling and training.
