Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: I stand by the entirety of the interview, where I stated, "There is an impact that people are feeling undeniably." The debate is not whether inflation has increased and is impacting people. The debate is what we should do about it. The Opposition has proposed cuts to the top tax rate and getting rid of policies to help first-home buyers. We, on the other hand, have worked consistently to increase focused support for low and middle income earners. That's why we've overseen a $5 increase in the minimum wage, benefiting around 300,000 workers. We've increased Working for Families changes that will lead to 346,000 people better off by an average of $20 each a week. We created the winter energy payment, starting again from 1 May, benefiting over a million New Zealanders during the winter months. We made the largest across the board increases in benefit incomes since the 1940s, and we've increased the pay of new police officers by 19 percent since 2017, 16 percent for primary teachers, and 21 percent for new nurses. The Government's plan is providing targeted support to New Zealand families to deal with the costs of living, whilst also investing in critical services and, importantly, keeping a lid on debt.
