2282 (2024). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for Social Development and Employment

2282 (2024). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: Does the Minister agree with Christopher Luxon that “there are other entitlements that people often on minimum wage secure, like accommodation supplements or other family, you know, credit—tax credits as well”; if so, what advice or reports, if any, has the Minister received on the impact on child poverty as a result of a 2 percent minimum wage increase?

Hon Louise Upston: Yes and I refer the member to reply number 2274 (2024).
