This Budget includes the second ever Budget day report on child poverty. Our goal remains, despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, for New Zealand to be the best place in the world to be a child. Budget 2020 builds on past investments to reduce child poverty, including through the Families Package, the indexation of benefits to wages, and lifts to the minimum wage. It is also supported by our actions on 17 March to lift main benefits by $25 per week and other policies that are supporting the lowest income New Zealanders.
