Rt Hon JACINDA ARDERN: Firstly, the member is totally ignoring the fact that the period of which we are developing this policy will take us beyond the period that we were expecting to experience this increase in inflation; 2023 is the timeline that we are working to. Secondly, it is incredibly short-sighted to have the member criticise spending, which has kept people in their jobs through the wage subsidy, and then criticise a solution designed to support New Zealanders should they in the future experience a jarring shock to our economy. It demonstrates again how short-sighted and lacking of ideas to protect New Zealand in the future the Opposition are.
