Hon NANAIA MAHUTA: I do agree with the fact that Minister Twyford has clearly been setting out the case for opportunity around infrastructure partnerships with local councils, but they would need to think very carefully about the forecast revenue for the 2020-21 period before they consider cutting rates or having zero rates. But, just to highlight the issue, the forecast revenue in 2018-2028, through long-term projections, for the 2021 year was approximately $15.5 billion. However, as a result of COVID-19, the forecast reduction is currently projected to be between 2.3 percent to 11 percent, which equates to $355 million or $1.5 billion loss in revenue to local government. If they want successful partnerships, we suggest, as a Government, that they consider all the information before cutting rates or holding them—freezing them—at zero.
