Adjustments to the Summary of Financial Activity Table Due to Vote Restructuring

There have been no restructuring adjustments to prior year information reported in last year's Summary of Financial Activity table.

Significant changes in Vote Internal Affairs are discussed briefly below.

Output Expenses

From 2017/18, the increase in baseline mainly reflects funding for the Government's contribution to Fire and Emergency New Zealand towards public good services that are unrelated to property or motor vehicle insurance.

From 2018/19 to 2022/23, the increase mainly reflects funding for the operating expenses associated with the Royal Commission into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions.

Benefits or Related Expenses

The increase in expenditure from 2018/19 reflects anticipated demand for the Rates Rebate Scheme.

Other Expenses

In 2014/15, funding was provided for structural remedial work for Waitangi Wharf in the Chatham Islands and for the development of specifications for the redevelopment of the wharf.

The increase in 2016/17 mainly reflects funding for Wellington resilience modelling and for a nationwide subsidy of neutering fees for high-risk menacing dogs and the associated promulgation.

In 2016/17 and 2017/18, funding was provided for the costs associated with improving the resilience and functionality of Pitt Island Wharf.

From 2016/17 to 2019/20, funding was provided for the fees for the Chairs and members appointed to inquiries.

From 2016/17 to 2019/20, funding was also provided to support local authorities to meet their statutory obligations and to mitigate risks to life from national hazards as a result of the November 2016 Hurunui/Kaikoura earthquake.

In 2017/18, funding was provided to recognise the Government's contribution towards 'Emergency Community Water Sources' to improve Wellington's emergency water resilience.

In 2018/19, funding was provided to recognise the Government's contribution towards the Te Puna Foundation, to support community-led responses and initiatives following the Christchurch Mosques Terror Attack and for the Emergency Services Sector to invest in replacement equipment to assure existing radio networks remain operational during an emergency.

From 2018/19 to 2022/23, funding was provided for Commissioners' fees and Counselling costs for individuals participating in the Royal Commission into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions.

In 2019/20, funding was provided to assist with the reform of the New Zealand racing industry.

From 2019/20, funding was provided to assist local government to embrace bilingual towns and cities.

Capital Expenditure

In 2014/15, funding was provided to purchase the Television New Zealand Archive Facility in Lower Hutt.

From 2015/16 to 2017/18, funding was provided for the reconstruction of Waitangi Wharf in the Chatham Islands.

From 2016/17 to 2019/20, the increase in baseline reflects a repayable capital injection to support the transition of rural and urban fire services to a unified organisation, Fire and Emergency New Zealand.

In 2016/17 and 2017/18, the increase in baseline also reflects funding for the redevelopment of Motuoapa Marina at Lake Taupo.

In 2017/18, the increase in the baseline also reflects investment in the new regional office for Archives New Zealand in Christchurch and increased investment for the refurbishment of the centralised facilities in Wellington.

From 2017/18 to 2019/20, the baseline reflects investment in the Te Ara Manaaki programme to modernise systems for Identity-related products.

In 2019/20 and 2020/21, funding was provided for the design, pre-decant activities and core technology infrastructure refresh associated with the proposed upgrade and expansion of the physical infrastructure and storage capacity for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand.

From 2019/20, funding was provided for the replacement of essential core technology and for the essential preservation of documentary heritage associated with Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand.

Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure - Output Expenses

The increase in 2016/17 mainly reflects funding for additional costs associated with a larger than anticipated programme of official visits and events, the Government Inquiry into Havelock North Drinking Water, an increase in expenditure associated with an increase in demand for Identity products and increased funding for the progression of Information and Communications Technology (ICT) initiatives. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the capital charge rate.

The increase in 2017/18 was mainly due to higher levels of funding for the implementation and ongoing operation of Phase II of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism reforms and for the progression of ICT initiatives. It also reflects funding for the commencement of an upgrade and expansion of the physical infrastructure and storage capacity for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand, managing changes to the Executive following the 2017 General Election, the transition to a digital identity collaborative model, the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction, the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters, the Three Waters Review and the Increasingly Digital initiative. In 2017/18, there was also a higher level of expenditure associated with Identity products.

The increase in 2018/19 was mainly due to a higher level of expenditure associated with Identity Products and the progression of ICT initiatives. The increase also reflects a higher level of funding for the implementation and ongoing operation of Phase II of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism reforms and the Central/Local Government Partnerships programme. It also reflects funding for the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters, the Government Inquiry into the Auckland Fuel Supply Disruption, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on the Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019, an increase in the capacity and capability for the Office of Ethnic Communities, the Ministerial Advisory Committee and additional policy capacity following the review of the New Zealand racing industry and the National Remembrance Service in Christchurch and other services.

The increase in the baseline in 2019/20 is mainly due to a higher level of funding for RealMe, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on the Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019 and increased capacity and capability for the Office of Ethnic Communities. It also reflects a higher level of expenditure associated with Identity products and funding to support the enhancing of the local government/Maori relationship and funding to enable the delivery of core statutory responsibilities and for the continuation of the project work for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand. The increase is partially offset by a lower level of funding for the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters and reflects the completion of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction in 2018/19.

The decrease in 2020/21 is mainly due to a lower level of expenditure associated with Passport Products and a lower level of funding for the progression of ICT initiatives. The decrease also reflects the completion of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on the Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019 and the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters in 2019/20.

The decrease in 2021/22 is mainly due to a lower level of funding associated with the project work for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand.

In 2022/23, the decrease in baseline mainly reflects a lower level of funding for RealMe and for the progression of ICT initiatives.

Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure - Other Expenses

The increase in baseline in 2015/16 mainly reflects expense transfers from 2014/15 to 2015/16 due to the timing of the implementation of the Community-led Development pilot in communities and to provide flexibility to ensure outcomes can be achieved in the participating communities.

In 2017/18, there was an expense transfer from 2017/18 to 2019/20 and 2020/21 to maximise community outcomes of resilience and sustainability and enable the programme to settle into a regular cycle of new and existing partnerships.

From 2017/18, the increase in baseline also reflects additional funding to enable community and voluntary organisations to provide more meaningful support to communities to achieve longer-term investments to meet local needs.

From 2017/18 to 2020/21, funding was provided for a social enterprise market development programme.

From 2021/22, the baseline remains stable.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The decrease in this appropriation for 2019/20 is mainly due to transfers of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs in 2018/19 only. This decrease is partially offset by the expected change in timing from 2018/19 to 2019/20 associated with the tendering process for the National Dog Control Information Database operation and support contract.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The decrease in the appropriation for 2019/20 is mainly due to the expected completion of various capital projects in 2018/19 including the roof replacement for the Archives New Zealand Auckland regional office, the National Library of New Zealand's plant room roof, capital components associated with the implementation of Phase II of the Anti-Money Laundering and Countering the Financing of Terrorism reforms, Television New Zealand Archive Facility in Lower Hutt separation of services, replacement of Contact Centre telephony tools and Remote Working; and Video Conferencing and Wi-Fi in all Department of Internal Affairs' offices. The decrease also reflects a lower level of investment in 2019/20 in the Te Ara Manaaki programme to modernise systems for Identity-related products. This decrease is partially offset by capital expenditure in 2019/20 associated with the replacement of essential core technology, the essential preservation of documentary heritage and the proposed upgrade and expansion of the physical infrastructure and storage capacity for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand.

The decrease in this appropriation for 2019/20 is due to one-off funding in 2018/19 to recognise the Government's contribution towards the Te Puna Foundation and for the Emergency Services Sector to invest in replacement equipment to assure existing radio networks remain operational during an emergency. These decreases are partially offset by funding in 2019/20 to assist local government to embrace bilingual towns and cities.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The decrease in this appropriation for 2019/20 is mainly due to the completion of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction and the Government Inquiry into the Appointment Process for a Deputy Commissioner of Police in 2018/19. This decrease also reflects a lower number of working days in 2019/20 for the Inquiry Chair and member of the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters. These decreases are partially offset by a higher number of working days in 2019/20 for the Inquiry Chair and member of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on the Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The increase in this appropriation for 2019/20 is mainly due to funding to enable the delivery of core statutory responsibilities and for the continuation of the project work for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand. The increase also reflects a higher level of funding for RealMe and an increase in expenditure associated with Identity products.

Strong demand for 10-year passports is forecast until 2021. After 2021, a significant decrease in demand is forecast resulting from the change in November 2015 of adult passport validity from five years to ten years. This forecast decrease will result in the memorandum account moving towards a deficit position. New fees were implemented from March 2019 to prevent the projected deficit from occurring.

The memorandum account was forecast to break even from 2020/21, however updated projections now indicate the breakeven position will not occur in 2020/21 due to revised projected costs of operation and service fees. As development of common capability products continues, this will lead to increased or specific products being available to government agencies to access. The rate of recovery from deficit will depend on the uptake rate by government agencies of common capability products, costs incurred in providing these products and the fees applied.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

The decrease in this appropriation for 2019/20 is mainly due to the completion of the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction and the Government Inquiry into the Appointment Process for a Deputy Commissioner of Police in 2018/19. This decrease also reflects a lower number of working days in 2019/20 supporting the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters. These decreases are partially offset by a higher number of working days in 2019/20 supporting the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on the Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019.
