Description:

The Transport Minister says targeting Kiwis' supports is the best way to get through a difficult period.

The Government has announced half price transport and the fuel excise tax cuts will finish at the end of March, as Treasury predicts a recession and continued high inflation next year.

For public transport, Michael Wood says they're directing help where it's most needed.

"It's very clear that as we head into 2023, there will continue to be real pressure on cost of living for people here in New Zealand and around the world. We've had to make some decisions today about the ongoing discounts on fuel and public transport."
