Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $542,000 to $4.316 million for 2018/19 due to:

  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $870,000)
  • an increase in expenditure associated with an increase in demand for Lake Taupo boating facilities (increase of $220,000), and
  • an increase in expenditure associated with the National Dog Control Information Database due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $17,000).

These increases were partially offset by:

  • a reduction in expenditure associated with 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 (decrease of $450,000), and
  • a decrease in expenditure associated with Lake Taupo boating facilities due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $115,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $4.706 million to $245.514 million for 2018/19.

The increase in the Managing and Accessing Identity Information category was due to:

  • an increase in expenditure for Passport Products due to additional expenditure associated with increased demand, moving functionality into an Infrastructure as a Service environment, the Te Ara Manaaki programme and increased Wellington and Auckland accommodation project costs (increase of $7.981 million)
  • funding to meet the costs associated with continuing work on the Developing Options for a New Approach to Digital Identity work programme (increase of $2.575 million)
  • an increase in expenditure associated with recovery of costs from the Ministry of Education for Work Force Identity Access Management and Sector Identity Access Management infrastructure hosting and support costs (increase of $1.068 million)
  • an increase in expenditure for Birth, Death and Marriage Certifications and other Products due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $1.052 million)
  • an increase in expenditure for Birth, Death and Marriage Certifications and other Products due to expenditure associated with increased demand, Life Data virtualisation operational costs, the Te Ara Manaaki programme and increased Wellington and Auckland accommodation project costs (increase of $575,000)
  • an increase in expenditure for Citizenship Products due to expenditure associated with increased demand, the Te Ara Manaaki programme and increased Wellington and Auckland accommodation project costs (increase of $547,000)
  • an increase in expenditure for Marriage and Civil Union Products due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $408,000)
  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $86,000), and
  • an increase in expenditure for Marriage and Civil Union Products due to expenditure associated with the Te Ara Manaaki programme and increased Wellington and Auckland accommodation project costs (increase of $48,000).

These increases were partially offset by:

  • a decrease in expenditure for Passport Products due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $2.944 million)
  • a transfer of funding to the Information and Technology Services Multi-Category Appropriation to reflect a realignment of expenditure and associated funding for the Developing Options for a New Approach to Digital Identity work programme (decrease of $2.575 million)
  • a decrease in expenditure due to a decrease in rental revenue associated with the sub-lease of properties (decrease of $165,000), and
  • a decrease in expenditure for Citizenship Products due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $15,000).

The decrease in the Managing and Accessing Knowledge Information category was due to:

  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $4.989 million), and
  • a realignment of the revenue and expenditure baseline associated with the provision of services provided by Archives New Zealand to third parties (decrease of $295,000).

These decreases were partially offset by:

  • an increase in expenditure for the Kotui shared library and resource discovery service due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $347,000)
  • an increase in expenditure associated with demand for the Kotui shared library and resource discovery service due to an increase in library uptake (increase of $300,000)
  • expenditure associated with the replacement and restoration of National Library School Collection books damaged in 2018/19 (increase of $265,000)
  • a realignment of the revenue and expenditure baseline associated with the provision of services provided by the National Library to third parties (increase of $190,000)
  • an increase in expenditure associated with recovery of costs from the Ministry of Education for the Any Questions and the Increasingly Digital initiatives (increase of $115,000)
  • an increase in expenditure for the Electronic Purchasing in Collaboration services due to the annual Consumer Price Index adjustment from vendors (increase of $80,000)
  • an increase in expenditure for the Electronic Purchasing in Collaboration services due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $61,000), and
  • an increase in capital charge expenditure as a result of asset revaluations (increase of $15,000).

The decrease in the Publishing Civic Information category was due to:

  • a decrease in expenditure associated with the New Zealand Gazette due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $24,000).

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.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation decreased by $230,000 to $21.303 million for 2018/19.

  • an expense transfer from 2017/18 to 2018/19 to maximise community outcomes of resilience and sustainability and enable the programme to settle into a regular cycle of new and existing partnerships (increase of $180,000).

This increase was partially offset by:

  • a transfer of funding to the departmental appropriation Administration of Grants to reflect the costs associated with the evaluation Hui with Community-led Development Programme Community Partners (decrease of $20,000).

The decrease in the Digital Literacy and Connection category was due to:

  • return of funding to the Crown for reprioritisation to other priority areas in Budget 2019 to improve wellbeing for New Zealanders (decrease of $540,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $15.144 million to $50.716 million for 2018/19.

The increase in the Cross-Government ICT Strategy and Planning, Service Delivery and Investment Proposals category was due to:

  • funding for the continued operation of the Digital Government Partnership Fund in 2018/19 (increase of $10 million)
  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $3.251 million)
  • funding to enable the Government Chief Digital Officer to deliver the government's priorities in digital rights, digital inclusion and procurement and to discharge a limited functional lead mandate (increase of $2.900 million), and
  • a transfer of funding from the Civic Information Services Multi-Category Appropriation to reflect a realignment of expenditure and associated funding for the Developing Options for a New Approach to Digital Identity work programme (increase of $2.575 million).

These increases were partially offset by:

  • an expense transfer from 2018/19 to 2019/20 to enable the development of options for a new approach to digital identity (decrease of $1 million).

The increase in the Government Chief Privacy Officer category was due to:

  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $109,000).

The decrease in the Government Information and Technology Services category was due to:

  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $2.556 million)
  • a realignment of the revenue and expenditure baseline associated with the Common Web Platform due to a change in accounting treatment (decrease of $1.488 million)
  • a transfer of funding from Vote Internal Affairs to Vote Business, Science and Innovation to meet the costs associated with the Chief Technology Officer and the Digital Economy and Digital Inclusion Ministerial Advisory Group work programmes, that will be undertaken by the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (decrease of $648,000)
  • a decrease in expenditure associated with a reassessment of the expected useful life, capitalisation date and cost of the ICT Marketplace asset (decrease of $451,000), and
  • a decrease in expenditure due to a decrease in rental revenue associated with the sub-lease of properties (decrease of $7,000).

These decreases were partially offset by:

  • an increase in expenditure associated with All-of-Government Common Capability Products due to changes as a result of the 2018 Four Year Plan and the reallocation of shared services costs within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $1.476 million)
  • an increase in expenditure associated with All-of-Government Common Capability Products due to additional costs for the IT Managed Services return to market work programme and the introduction of the new ICT Marketplace product (increase of $564,000), and
  • an expense transfer from 2017/18 to 2018/19 to allow Government Information Services to complete the work that the Government Chief Digital Officer and the State Services Commission have committed to, to investigate and deliver options aimed at developing Govt.nz into a future proofed unified government digital experience in 2018/19 (increase of $419,000).

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

This appropriation increased by $2.668 million to $46.190 million for 2018/19.

The increase in the Coordination of Official Visits and Events category was due to:

  • funding to meet the costs associated with hosting the National Remembrance Service in Christchurch (increase of $1.500 million)
  • funding to meet the costs associated with the visit by the Duke and Duchess of Sussex in October 2018 (increase of $1.025 million), and
  • funding to meet the costs associated with hosting international dignitaries who attended the National Remembrance Service in Christchurch or other services and the costs associated with the visit by the Duke of Cambridge (increase of $640,000).

These increases were partially offset by:

  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $294,000).

The decrease in the Support Services to Members of the Executive category was due to:

  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $203,000).

Reasons for Change in Appropriation

This appropriation increased by $9.549 million to $25.678 million for 2018/19.

The increase in the Commissions of Inquiry and Similar Bodies category was due to:

  • expense transfers from 2017/18 to 2018/19 for the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction (increase of $1.828 million) and the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters (increase of $1.274 million)
  • funding to meet the costs associated with the extension of the report back date for the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters (increase of $2.743 million)
  • funding for the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on the Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019 (increase of $1.740 million)
  • funding for the Government Inquiry into the Auckland Fuel Supply Disruption (increase of $944,000)
  • funding for the Government Inquiry into the Appointment Process for a Deputy Commissioner of Police (increase of $116,000), and
  • a transfer of funding from Vote Police to Vote Internal Affairs to meet the costs associated with the extension of the report back for the Government Inquiry into the Appointment Process for a Deputy Commissioner of Police (increase of $79,000).

These increases were partially offset by:

  • a transfer of funding to the non-departmental appropriation, Public Inquiries, to meet the non-departmental costs associated with the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters (decrease of $100,000), and
  • a transfer of funding to the non-departmental appropriation, Public Inquiries, to reflect the actual expenditure associated with the extension of the report back for the Government Inquiry into the Appointment Process for a Deputy Commissioner of Police (decrease of $8,000).

The decrease in the Statutory and Advisory Body Support - National Archives category was due to:

  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $16,000).

The increase in the Statutory Body Support - Local Government Commission category was due to:

  • an expense transfer from 2017/18 to 2018/19 to enable the continuation and completion of a joint shared services project with the four local authorities on the West Coast in 2018/19 (increase of $200,000), and
  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (increase of $61,000).

The increase in the Support for Grant Funding Bodies - Internal Affairs category was due to:

  • expenditure associated with an increase in the provision of services for the Lottery Grants Board (increase of $484,000), and
  • funding from the Lottery Grants Board to support the further development of Oranga Marae (increase of $300,000).

These increases were partially offset by:

  • a transfer of funding between departmental appropriations based on the provision of services across the portfolios within Vote Internal Affairs (decrease of $96,000).
