'I feel proud about that' - Jacinda Ardern says Families Package best part of her first six months

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern says her government's biggest achievement so far is raising the amount of support for low and middle-income families from July this year.

Ms Ardern, speaking on TVNZ 1's Breakfast, said the Families Package introduced by her government was among many things she was proud of.

"From July we will have the biggest change to the amount of support that middle income and low income families will see in a decade coming in," she said.

"I feel proud about that because that's something we needed to do.

"Too many families are doing it tough, including middle-income families - they just feel squeezed.

"So doing that right off the bat was the right thing to do."
