26799 (2023). Rachel Boyack to the Minister for ACC: Does the Minister intend to “amend the way backdated compensation is taxed so claimants are not subject to pay tax at a higher rate when receiving lump sum payments”, as found on page 34 of the 2023 New Zealand First Party manifesto, and if not, why not?

Hon Matt Doocey: I am not responsible for a political party’s manifesto. I intend to progress the priorities outlined in the Speech from the Throne and the coalition agreements that are relevant to my portfolio.
