Hon GRANT ROBERTSON (Minister of Finance): Core Government services expenses, as outlined in table 5.8 of the Half Yearly Economic and Fiscal Update, represent less than 6 percent of overall core Crown expenses. In the 2017-18 year, core Government services expenses were $4.67 billion, or 5.8 percent of core Crown expenses. In the 2019-20 year, which is the latest for which we have audited accounts, core Government services expenses were $6.063 billion, or 5.6 percent of core Crown expenses. So while the core Government services expenses have increased $1.39 billion, or 30 percent, they now represent a smaller proportion of core Crown expenses than in the 2017-18 year.
