Answer

I am advised by the Ministry of Education that, from when the Ministerial Advisory Group was established in March 2025 through to December 2025, the total spend for fees paid to members was circa $78,000 (excluding GST). Additional costs for travel (airfares, taxis, car parking), accommodation, catering, meeting room hire, and secretariat services was circa $170,000 (excluding GST).
