Your Local MP for Banks Peninsula<br />
Tracey<br />
McLellan<br />
At the heart of Budget <strong>2023</strong> is a cost<br />
of living package designed to ease the<br />
pressure on households. I’ve been out<br />
and about making sure people in Banks<br />
Peninsula hear about this support and I<br />
wanted to share a bit more information<br />
here too.<br />
In a nutshell, the Budget provides<br />
practical support across childcare,<br />
healthcare, transport and power bills. For<br />
instance, we’re helping with health costs<br />
by removing prescription charges for<br />
medicines. Removing the $5 co-payment<br />
will mean that around three million<br />
Kiwis will no longer have to worry about<br />
the costs of collecting their medication.<br />
This will make a real difference for many<br />
households, particularly older adults and<br />
those who have multiple prescriptions to<br />
fill on a regular basis.<br />
Another way we can support parents with<br />
young children is to extend 20 hours ECE<br />
to two-year-olds, adding to the existing<br />
three to five-year-olds. This will be a<br />
major saving for whānau and will reduce<br />
barriers for working parents to take on<br />
more hours if they can.<br />
With Budget <strong>2023</strong>, we’re also extending<br />
our Healthy School Lunches programme<br />
which delivers over a million free lunches<br />
to students each week. For families with<br />
two children, it’s estimated the scheme<br />
saves, on average, $60 per week.<br />
To help with transport costs, we’re<br />
providing free fares on buses, trains and<br />
ferries for children aged 5 to 12 and halfprice<br />
discounts for all passengers aged<br />
13 to 24 from July this year. Free fares for<br />
kids under 13 could see savings of $30 a<br />
week for whānau with two children.<br />
Winter is definitely upon us, but we can<br />
help to reduce power bills by hundreds<br />
of dollars a year through the Warmer<br />
Kiwi Homes programme. This retrofit<br />
programme is estimated to have reduced<br />
electricity use by 16% on average over<br />
the winter months and sits alongside our<br />
popular Winter Energy Payment.<br />
Cost of living pressures are being felt<br />
across our community as New Zealand<br />
faces challenges such as global inflation<br />
and rebuilding following the recent<br />
extreme weather events. That’s why<br />
Budget <strong>2023</strong> strikes a careful balance<br />
between supporting people today and<br />
building towards a better tomorrow.<br />
