28696 (2025). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Finance: Did the decision in CAB-24-MIN-0136 result in fiscal savings to the Crown, and if so, by how much?

Hon Nicola Willis: Cabinet agreed in the Pay Equity Reset to return $450 million over the forecast from the Public Sector Pay Equity contingency (CAB-24-MIN-0136), reflecting Treasury's expectation that the change in incentives anticipated from the Pay Equity Reset changes would result in lower settlement costs.
