Hon GRANT ROBERTSON: The Auditor-General is raising concerns about the way in which the Public Finance Act operates. It has operated this way since 1989. What we have been trying to do in Government is modernise the Public Finance Act so it actually reflects the fact that our goal here is to provide services and achieve outcomes for New Zealanders. In the words of the Minister for the Public Service, as he often says, New Zealanders don't wake up in the morning and say, "I am now going to use services provided under Vote Health, followed by services provided under Vote Education, followed by services provided by Vote Social Development." This Government is trying to break down the silos of Government. Unfortunately, the Public Finance Act still keeps those in place. We're committed to working with the Auditor-General on improving that.
