This is not about new policy. This is a technical correction in the bill. For over 25 years, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade has assisted New Zealanders in distress overseas by providing temporary financial assistance by way of a consular loan to them when they had no other means of financial assistance and their immediate health and safety was at risk. So for over 25 years, this has been done in accordance with the authority in the provisions of the Public Finance Act 1989 until the Act was amended in 2013.
