How much in total, if any, was spent on renumeration of Crown appointees in the Minister's departments, crown entities and any other bodies that the Minister is responsible for, if any, for the 2022-2023 financial year?

Answer

I am advised by the Ministry for Pacific Peoples, the indicative total spent on remuneration for crown entities for the 2022-2023 financial year was between $68,000 and $70,000 for appointees to the Centre for Pacific Languages Board and between $75,000 and $77,000 for appointees to the Pacific Business Trust Board, based on the number of trustees and board fees. Note, these numbers are indicative as early board resignations during the financial year will have impacted the overall total.
