This payment is one of a range of financial assistance initiatives that the Government is providing to New Zealanders. Under our confidence and supply agreement, we committed to an overhaul of the welfare system, and this Government has already taken steps to increase income for New Zealanders. We implemented our Families Package, which was the biggest boost in household income in a decade for thousands of families. In Budget 2019, for the first time in New Zealand's history, we indexed main benefit increases to wages and also removed the punitive sanction 192. And, as I mentioned in this speech, this year we have increased main benefits and doubled the winter energy payment. We are already seeing the impacts of this. For example, for a person receiving sole parent support with a six-month-old, no other income, and living in Nelson, increases under this Government have meant a total increase of $155.91 compared to a person in the same situation in 2017.
