Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): The Government moved swiftly to provide significant support to businesses and workers in response to the Delta COVID-19 outbreak. The wage subsidy scheme and resurgence support payment were reactivated. Other existing supports such as the leave support scheme, the short-term absence payment, and the small-business cash-flow scheme have also been available, as appropriate. In total, the wage subsidy scheme has now paid out $3.35 billion, and the resurgence support payment, $1.13 billion, totalling close to $4.5 billion. I am very well aware of the strain that the restrictions that are in place are putting on businesses and workers, and we are continuing to talk to businesses and evolve our response. The Government has been working on an enhanced business support package which will have a particular focus on supporting businesses in the Auckland area, and I'll have more to say about that on Friday.
