Hon JAN TINETTI (Minister of Internal Affairs) on behalf of the Minister for Social Development and Employment: Yes. This Government is deeply committed to ensuring New Zealand is the best place in the world to be a child, and addressing family poverty is essential in achieving this. The Government has been proactive and responsive to hardship through the pandemic. Following the original COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020 where the Government invested $80 million over three years into community support and resilience, we have also supported the sector to respond to COVID with an additional $38.15 million during our response to Delta. We have also extended the eligibility criteria for hardship assistance so that families on low wages can receive hardship assistance from the Ministry of Social Development and Employment. The rapid roll-out of the wage subsidy has also kept New Zealanders in work. Because of this, we have seen unemployment remain low and only a small rise in the number of people receiving jobseeker assistance. We know we're not out of the woods yet and will continue to keep an eye on what is happening and respond where there is a need.
