Infrastructure Minister Grant Robertson is relishing his ability to drive progress on major projects that Labour campaigned on in Auckland without the uncertainty of coalition politicking. Robertson took on the pivotal infrastructure portfolio after the Labour Government was re-elected with a majority in Parliament last September. It had previously been held by former New Zealand First Cabinet Minister Shane Jones.

Well see i don t think it is factually incorrect.
Both increased rates, to some extend. Both have not done enough. The labour party has campaigned on not doing anything else for beneficiaries and got voted in on this promise among others – those dear cross over fiscal conservatives votes came in handy winning an all out majority..
So yes, in my personal opinion, they are both the same when it comes to increasing the benefits of all beneficiaries to such an extend that it would be at the very lest 480.00 per week (covid relieve for full timer after tax). Missing in action and hiding behind meaningless feel good rethoric.

The project would create 33 jobs during the construction phase, and eight new permanent jobs when the project was completed, Robertson said. “Marae are important centres for Māori. They are the culture and are focal point for people to meet, discuss and provide visible leadership for their community. “Much-needed renovation of marae around the country creates vital work opportunities for local tradespeople and contractors displaced by the economic impact of Covid-19.” Waihōpai Rūnaka chairman Cyril Gilroy said the project would ensure that Murihiku marae is fit for purpose and carry the rūnaka into the future. “This will be all the things a pā was, but in a modern context, fluid and adaptive to meet the needs of our community in this post-covid-19 world.”
