The Government's announced $50 a week in temporary relief for low and middle-income families hit by high fuel prices.
The in-work tax credit boost comes into effect from April 7, and the Finance Minister says it'll help about 143,000 working families with kids.
Nicola Willis explained that the country's still recovering from the debt built up over Covid, and the Government had to make some hard choices.
"Just about every New Zealander and every business is feeling it right now, and I get it. Everyone wants relief - the Government finds itself in a difficult position."
