43091 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Local Government: Are Crown negotiators for regional deals’ fees covered by the Cabinet Fees Framework; if not, were market consultancy rates used, and if so, what benchmarks were considered (e.g., PwC/Deloitte senior partner rates, consultancy panel rates used by MBIE or Treasury)?

Hon Simon Watts: I refer the member to my response to written parliamentary question 42672 (2025). Contract rates were negotiated with each Crown Negotiator based on the skills and experience the negotiators bring.
