27764 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Media and Communications: What is the total additional annual cost, if any, of all board fee increases approved by the Minister since 27 November 2023 across any agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible, broken down by organisation and year, as at 8 June 2026?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I have approved increases within my portfolio to the Broadcasting Commission (NZ On Air), the National Pacific Media Trust, Radio New Zealand and Television New Zealand to align with the revised fee increases as part of the revised Cabinet Fees Framework. The total additional annual costs are as follows: NZ On Air - $67,500. National Pacific Media Trust - $61,600. Radio New Zealand - $60,010. Television New Zealand - $103,957. The difference in figure from TVNZ to other entities is due to the board consisting of 6 members as of 27 November 2023, but has 7 members as of 8 June 2026.
