Auckland's fuel tax is being ditched - as paid parental leave increases.
The new FamilyBoost reimbursement is also kicking in.
Luxon says this will allow eligible families to claim back a maximum of 150 dollars a fortnight - of their early childhood education fees.
He says early childcare is a big cost for young families - and notes the financial impact it can have on mums and dads looking to return to work.
Luxon says inflation's falling - but more needs to be done to drive down cost pressures.
