Hon STUART NASH: I would like to shout out once again to those working on our COVID response and in our managed isolation and quarantine (MIQ) facilities. The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment's own procurement team has recently ensured the living wage was implemented through their procurement of MIQ commercial contracts. This means all staff across all 32 facilities are now on the living wage equivalent or higher, and there is a provision built in that the wage will continue to increase as the living wage increases. The living wage will improve living standards for workers and their whānau, which is even more important during a global pandemic. We absolutely recognise that low-paid workers are particularly vulnerable to economic impacts of the crisis.
