42514 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Justice: Have they sought or received any advice, if any, on whether Crown board fee increases for entities or agencies within their portfolio, if any, could require reductions, reprioritisations, or trade-offs in frontline or essential services, if so, what did that advice say?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: No advice has been sought or received on whether Crown board fee increases for Crown entities could require reductions, reprioritisations, or trade-offs in frontline or essential services. Crown entities are funded through their own appropriations in Vote Justice; they are expected to stay within their appropriated funding at all times.
