Prime Minister Burnham mentioned an 'accumulation of smaller things' to help household budgets. This suggests the government might introduce several targeted measures rather than one big policy. These could include specific grants, energy bill discounts, or adjustments to benefits, aiming to ease financial pressure on families.
