Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: Statistics New Zealand did release their food price index yesterday. It did show that prices rose 2.7 percent in January, the largest monthly rise in five years. On a seasonally adjusted basis, overall food prices rose 1.1 percent. This annual increase that we've seen is the largest since August 2011, when prices rose by 6.6 percent. The environment does remain volatile with COVID-19 disruptions pushing up prices globally for food and other products, such as fuel. We do acknowledge the rise of cost of living is challenging for New Zealanders, and that is why we have supported people through the pandemic to protect their jobs and livelihoods, and taken actions to lift the incomes of the lowest-income New Zealanders, including benefit increases and minimum wage increases—both of which were opposed by the Opposition.
