1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends
Significant changes in Vote Internal Affairs are discussed briefly below.
Output Expenses
From 2017/18, the increase in baseline mainly reflects funding for the Central/Local Government
Partnerships programme and 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 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/Kaikōura 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 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 of Inquiry 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 and to
support the Whakatane District Council in cooperation with the Bay of Plenty Regional Council to effect a
managed retreat of houses and vacant sections at Matata.
In 2019/20 and 2020/21, funding was provided for the legal assistance costs for individuals or their

The Estimates of Appropriations 2020/21 - Finance and Government Administration Sector B.5 Vol.5 111Vote Internal Affairs Part 1.3 - Analysis of Significant Trends 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 112 The Estimates of Appropriations 2020/21 - Finance and Government Administration Sector B.5 Vol.5
