What is the total amount, if any, paid in board and committee fees by each agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible in each financial year since 27 November 2023, broken down by organisation and year, as at 8 June 2026?

Answer

There are two groups in my portfolio that I am responsible for, the Climate Change Commission and the Nominating Committee for the Commission. For the Climate Change Commission and that date period, I refer the member to page 77 of the Commission’s 2023/24 Annual Report and page 74 of the Commission’s 2024/25 Annual Report. The figure for 2025/26 as at 8 June 2026 is $345,000. While members may claim a daily fee of $395 and the Chair may claim $575 per day, Nominating Committee members have not claimed fees since 27 November 2023. I am not the responsible Minister for any boards managed by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.
