Hon MICHAEL WOOD: The increase to a $20 per hour minimum wage is boosting wages across the economy by around about $216 million. There are many Kiwis who earn the minimum wage who have gone above and beyond in our fight against COVID-19, and I think that those Kiwis—the cleaners, the supermarket checkout workers, and the drivers who have served our country so well—deserve decent, fair, and just pay to live in dignity.
