Hon CARMEL SEPULONI: Happy St Patrick's Day, Mr Speaker. Thirty-eight percent of all placements at the time of referral were Māori; 71 percent of Māori participants have been on the programme for 91 days or longer and have a training pathway forward. This is reflected in the gradual increase of Māori exits off main benefits and into work since 2017. Overall, exits off main benefits into work were the highest since February 2000. Mana in Mahi is continuing to support more and more people into employment, education, and training, helping to accelerate our economic recovery and lay the foundations for New Zealand to build back better.
