1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends#
Significant changes in Vote Internal Affairs are discussed briefly below.
Output Expenses

From 2018/19 to 2021/22, the increase mainly reflects funding for the operating expenses associated with the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based Institutions.
Benefits or Related Expenses
The increase in expenditure in 2018/19 and 2019/20 reflects demand for the Rates Rebate Scheme.
Other Expenses
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 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.

From 2019/20, funding was provided to assist local government to embrace bilingual towns and cities and increased funding was provided for projects that support ethnic communities to grow their skills, celebrate their culture and take part in society.
Capital Expenditure
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 2017/18, the increase in baseline also reflects investment in the new regional office for Archives New Zealand in Christchurch and increased investment in the refurbishment of the centralised facilities in Wellington.
From 2017/18 to 2020/21, 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 Increasingly Digital initiative, the Government Inquiry into Mental Health and Addiction and the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters. 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. Funding was also provided for the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters, the Government Inquiry into the Auckland Fuel Supply Disruption and the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019. The increase also reflects funding for 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 was mainly due to a higher level of funding for RealMe, the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019 and increased capacity and capability for the Office of Ethnic Communities. It also reflects funding for countering online violent extremist content and supporting the Christchurch call, the visit by the Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, 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 was partially offset by the transfer of the Language Line service to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment in 2019/20, 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 minor decrease in 2020/21 is mainly due to a lower level of expenditure associated with Identity products and the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters. It also reflects the completion of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019 in 2019/20. The decrease is partially offset by a higher level of funding to enable the delivery of core statutory responsibilities associated with the provision of services by Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand, for Smartstart and for the costs associated with managing the transition for the incoming Executive.
The decrease in 2021/22 is mainly due to a lower level of funding associated with project work for Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand.
From 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

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.
In 2019/20, one-off funding was provided for at-risk communities to upgrade their security arrangements. There was also an expense transfer from 2019/20 to 2021/22 to maximise community outcomes of resilience and sustainability and enable the Community-led Development Programme to settle into a regular cycle of new and existing partnerships.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation was established with effect from 1 July 2020 to consolidate funding associated with the provision of policy advice and ministerial support servicing for local government (refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details).
The decrease compared with the applicable appropriations under the structure in this appropriation in 2020/21 is mainly due to a lower level of funding for the Central/Local Government Partnerships programme.

Strong demand for 10-year passports is forecast until 2021. After 2021, a significant decrease in demand is forecast resulting from the change in adult passport validity from five years to ten years in November 2015. 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
Appropriations for small amounts have been combined as an initial part of modernising the public finance system.
The funding for the Administration of Grants category was previously a stand-alone departmental output expense (refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details).
The decrease compared with the applicable appropriations under the structure in this appropriation in 2020/21 is mainly due to one-off funding in 2019/20 for at-risk communities to upgrade their security arrangements and a lower level of funding in 2020/21 for a social enterprise market development programme. These decreases are partially offset by a higher level of funding for the Community-led Development Programme in 2020/21.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
This appropriation was established with effect from 1 July 2020 to consolidate the funding associated with the collection, management and provision of access to knowledge and information for New Zealand and supporting government accountability.
The funding for the Knowledge and Information Services category was transferred from the Managing and Accessing Knowledge Information category within the Civic Information Services MCA and the Public Sector Recordkeeping component of the Regulatory Services category within the Regulatory Services MCA (refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details).
The funding for the Public Lending Right for New Zealand Authors category was previously a stand-alone non-departmental output expense (refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details).
The funding for the Heritage Collections - Annual category was previously a stand-alone non-departmental capital expenditure appropriation (refer Part 1.4 - Reconciliation of Changes in Appropriation Structure for details).
The increase compared with the applicable appropriations under the structure in this appropriation in 2020/21 is mainly due to a higher level of funding to enable the delivery of core statutory responsibilities associated with the provision of services by Archives New Zealand and the National Library of New Zealand. The increase also reflects funding for the preservation of audio-visual heritage content owned by the Crown.

Reasons for Change in Appropriation
Appropriations for small amounts have been combined as an initial part of modernising the public finance system.
The decrease in this appropriation for 2020/21 is mainly due to the completion of the Royal Commission of Inquiry into the Attack on Christchurch Mosques on 15 March 2019 in 2019/20 and a significantly lower number of working days in 2020/21 supporting the Government Inquiry into Operation Burnham and Related Matters.
