Hon CARMEL SEPULONI (Minister for Social Development and Employment): Talofa lava, Mr Speaker. Budget 2022 responded to the needs of tamariki in benefit-receiving households in a number of ways. It removed the policy which withheld child support payments to sole parent beneficiaries, permanently halved public transport fares for people with a community services card, increased the grant available for essential dental work, and invested in disabilities services' budgeting services and also in the education and health sectors. On top of this, on 1 April, main benefits were increased to historic levels and, on 1 May, 350,000 main benefit households began to receive the winter energy payment. It's really important to note that the winter energy payment supports around 200,000 children and is a permanent fixture of our welfare system.
