1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Significant changes in Vote Internal Affairs are discussed briefly below.
Output Expenses
In 2013/14, funding was provided for transition and stranded overhead costs associated with the transfer of the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management functions to Vote Prime Minister and Cabinet and for the Grants and Client Management Systems project.
From 2014/15 to 2016/17, the baseline remains stable.
From 2017/18, the increase in baseline 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.
Benefits or Related Expenses
The increase in expenditure from 2018/19 reflects anticipated demand for the Rates Rebate Scheme.
Other Expenses
In 2013/14, funding was provided for the reconstruction of Pitt Island Wharf in the Chatham Islands.
In 2014/15, funding was provided for structural remedial work for Waitangi Wharf in the Chatham Islands, and for 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 2018/19, 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 for the Emergency Services Sector to invest in replacement equipment to assure existing radio networks remain operational during an emergency.
From 2019/20, the baseline remains stable.
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.
From 2020/21, the baseline remains stable.
Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure - Output Expenses
The increase in 2014/15 reflects a higher level of funding for the Government Chief Privacy Officer, the ongoing operation of RealMe, the progression of ICT initiatives and for stranded overheads as a result of the transfer of the Ministry of Civil Defence and Emergency Management functions to Vote Prime Minister and Cabinet in 2013/14. The increase also reflects funding for the depreciation and capital charge associated with the Television New Zealand Archive Facility in Lower Hutt, the Rules Reduction Taskforce, the second stage of the Government Inquiry into the Whey Protein Concentrate Contamination Incident and the Inquiry into Allegations Regarding Judith Collins and a Former Director of the Serious Fraud Office.
In 2014/15, there was also a transfer of funding from 2013/14 to 2014/15 to provide additional capacity at the national commemoration at the National War Memorial on ANZAC Day 2015 and expense transfers from 2013/14 to 2014/15 mainly for Result 10, ICT Functional Leadership and the Software Acquisition Strategy. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in expenditure associated with Identity products.
The decrease in 2015/16 reflects a lower level of funding for the progression of ICT initiatives and the operation of RealMe. The decrease also reflects the completion in 2014/15 of the Confidential Listening and Assistance Service, the Inquiry into Allegations Regarding Judith Collins and a Former Director of the Serious Fraud Office and the Government Inquiry into the Whey Protein Concentrate Contamination Incident. The decrease was partially offset by funding for Ministerial Services fiscal pressures including one-off funding for the visit of the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, the public memorial service to honour Jonah Lomu and the All Blacks Welcome Home Celebration in Auckland. Funding was also provided for operating costs associated with administration of the new credit repossession regime and to meet increased demand on the Local Government Commission.
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 ICT initiatives. The increase was partially offset by a decrease in the capital charge rate.
The increase in the baseline 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, the Three Waters Review and the Increasingly Digital initiative. In 2017/18, there was also a higher level of expenditure associated with Identity products and the sub-lease of properties.
The decrease in 2018/19 is mainly due a lower level of funding for the progression of ICT initiatives, inquiries and the Local Government Commission. The decrease also reflects a lower level of expenditure associated with Identity products. The decrease is partially offset by 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.
The increase in the baseline in 2019/20 is mainly due to an increase in expenditure associated with Identity products and a higher level of funding for RealMe. The increase is partially offset by funding associated with the completion of the project work for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand in 2018/19.
From 2020/21, the decrease mainly reflects decreased expenditure associated with Identity products.
Multi-Category Expenses and Capital Expenditure - Other Expenses
The decrease in baseline in 2014/15 mainly reflects a lower level of funding for digital literacy.
The increase 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.

The memorandum account was forecast to breakeven from 2020/21, however updated projections now indicate the break-even 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, the costs incurred in providing these products and the fees applied.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation#
The decrease in this appropriation for 2018/19 is mainly due to the completion of the Government Inquiry into Havelock North Drinking Water in 2017/18 and a lower level of funding for the Local Government Commission in 2018/19. The decrease also reflects a higher number of working days in 2017/18 supporting the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction and the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham.
