54470 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Does he agree with Dr Wilson that with regard to confirmation-of-payee systems to address fraud, New Zealand is "over a decade behind other jurisdictions"?

Hon Scott Simpson: No. Comparable measures were introduced in the United Kingdom in 2020 and Australia earlier this year.
