Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): I do have concerns about the impacts of COVID-related global supply chain disruptions, the effects of the war in Ukraine on global supply chain and services, and resulting price increases. This is shared by the BNZ, who said in their commentary on the Quarterly Survey of Business Opinion that "The pressures faced by business are all supply side." In answer to the second part of the question, we certainly do acknowledge that many Kiwi households are facing a tough time, and, if we are realistic, this is likely to continue through the second part of the first half of this year. That's why, however, it is positive that the BNZ has said that wages would also head higher, which will support Kiwi households. The Government is doing what we can to give households certainty that what we will do to support them will continue—for example, we've said that we have cut public transport fares in half instead of increasing them to the tune of $630 million, as suggested by the Leader of the Opposition, and it's also why we're targeting income support to low and middle income families instead of giving thousands of dollars of tax cuts for those on the top rate.
