The Public Finance Act is one of the pillars of Government in New Zealand, and I agree with the Minister that it's a very good piece of legislation. It's stood us in very good stead over the years, but it cannot be all things to all people. If it's meant to be all things to all people, it will most certainly undermine its focus and the very important role it plays in New Zealand's economic structure. I'm one of those people who believes decision making involves something of a hierarchical process, and if we undermine the hierarchical process, we will not always get the outcomes we're looking for.
