Newshub understands benefits are likely to be given a boost in Thursday's Budget and the latest Newshub-Reid Research poll shows the country is on board too. 
It would make such a huge difference to beneficiaries who are struggling just to make ends meet - people like Tui Makoare, a qualified social worker, whose three-decade career hit pause when he lost his job during COVID-19. 
"It is exhausting and at times you're thinking, is it all worth it?" Makoare told Newshub. "Obviously I prefer to be working. I've been on Jobseekers for eight months. It is a struggle."
