Hon DAVID PARKER (Minister of Revenue): Thank you, Madam Chair. In respect of the progressivity issue, progressivity is achieved both through transfer payments but also public services that are delivered to New Zealanders through funding that's provided by the tax system. In respect of cost-saving measures, we are—as all Governments do—trying to avoid the waste of taxpayers' money. No one wants to take more money in tax than is needed to meet the proper business of Government. At the moment, many Government departments have, in fact, suffered very large reductions in their normal fee revenue, particularly as a consequence of the disruptions to the economy caused by the COVID epidemic.
