23014 (2024). Ricardo Menéndez March to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What does, if at all, the Minister project the Supported Living Payment (single, 18+) benefit rate to be over the next four financial years, and the benefit rate if it were indexed to median wage growth, following the updated wage and Consumers Price Index inflation in February 2024?

Hon Louise Upston: Treasury does not forecast "median wage growth" as the question references.
