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.

the Royal Commission of Inquiry into Historical Abuse in State Care and in the Care of Faith-based
Institutions.
From 2020/21, the increase also reflects funding for the Three Waters Reform programme and the
establishment of a Ministerial review into the future for local government.
