Answer

I have approved increases within my portfolio to align with the revised fee increases as part of the revised Cabinet Fees Framework. The fees for the New Zealand Film Commission were applied retrospectively from 1 July 2025 and the fees for the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra were applied retrospectively from 1 January 2026.
