Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN (Prime Minister): That wasn't exactly my quote, but on Monday I was asked why we didn't just tack on an extension to the two-week wage subsidy. My reply to that question was: "It is not a simple exercise to simply tack on additional. It would require an entirely new application [processing] regime. Our focus is getting the money out the door quickly for everyone who's already applied." As a Cabinet, we also weighed up a number of other factors when considering the two-week wage subsidy that has been applied across New Zealand. That included that Auckland has had a combined lockdown at levels 3 and 4 in total of around nine weeks, and the wage subsidy has been available for 22 weeks in total, far exceeding the 3 and 4 levels. In addition to the short two-week extension, thousands of additional businesses have become eligible for the eight-week wage subsidy payment as a result of the shorter lockdown. The other financial support the Government is offering was also considered, including the Small Business (Cashflow) Loan Scheme, tax changes, and specific sector support packages. Finally, we also considered the fact that we do need to manage the Government's finances responsibly. Every dollar in wage subsidy is, unfortunately, a dollar that is also borrowed.
