Budget 2022 delivers a short-term cost of living payment for about 2.1 million Kiwis to help with the impact of rising costs. This support targets about 81 percent of New Zealanders aged 18 plus, who will be receiving the winter energy payment or the temporary cost of living payment this year. Budget 2022 also offers the 25c fuel excise cut and it keeps public transport half price for another two months. We are also making half-price public transport permanent for community services card holders.
