Workplace Relations Minister Brooke van Velden's refutes claims her minimum wage increase is 'piddly'. 

The minimum wage will rise to 23-dollars-and-95-cents next April -- a 45 cent increase. 

Labour's called the hike 'piddly and weak' -- while also claiming in real terms, it's a pay cut for some New Zealanders. 

Van Velden told Ryan Bridge that's simply not true as it aligns with forecast inflation.
