Associate Finance Minister David Seymour says the Government is committed to "moderate" minimum wage increases

The minimum wage increases two-percent today, to 23-dollars-15 an hour.

The Family tax credit, Best Start tax credit and Job Seeker Support benefit are also increasing.

Seymour says the last Government made significant minimum wage increases -- from 15-dollars-75 in 2016.

He says inflation's gone up by 25 percent in that period and minimum wage has increased by almost twice that much.
