Budget 2021: Foreign affairs funding largely on ice as new priorities emerge


Geoffrey Miller
Analysis - There are some new clues to be found in the Budget that illustrate the foreign affairs and trade agenda of the Labour government, under new ministers Nanaia Mahuta and Damien O Connor.
Perhaps Foreign Affairs Minister Nanaia Mahuta s real success has been ensuring no cuts have been made to the foreign affairs appropriation.

The headline item and only new spending for Vote Foreign Affairs was a $344 million appropriation to redevelop Scott Base in Antarctica.
Of course, this is significant new money - and a substantial boost on previous plans to spend only $200m. But the Antarctic rebuild was also well-known as one of Winston Peters many pet projects. As such, the cash arguably represents one final victory for the former foreign minister, rather than being the first triumph for the current one. ....

New Zealand 'Uncomfortable' With Expanding Five Eyes to Confront China: NZ Foreign Minister


New Zealand ‘Uncomfortable’ With Expanding Five Eyes to Confront China: NZ Foreign Minister
In a move likely to appease Beijing, New Zealand’s foreign minister is distancing the nation’s foreign policy away from close democratic allies, preferring to chart its own course on relations with the Chinese Communist Party (CCP).
Foreign Minister Nanaia Mahuta was speaking in her second major address since assuming office at the New Zealand China Council on Monday, where she outlined what the nation’s “contemporary relationship” with China would look like.

Government didn't look at value for money when weighing up $10b light rail decision


Abigail Dougherty/Stuff
National Party leader Judith Collins, Paul Goldsmith and Parmjeet Parmar talk to media at the bottom of Mt Roskill about the fail of light rail.
The Government’s multi-billion dollar plan to build Auckland light rail – likely the most expensive infrastructure project in New Zealand’s history – didn’t analyse value for money when its final stage Cabinet paper was drawn up early last year.
This was despite the Government spending more than two years investigating light rail proposals and $5 million on a process to work out who should even build it.
It was only in February of 2020, when a draft Cabinet paper was being drawn up to finally select who would build and run the light rail line that Treasury, the Government’s economic policy shop, warned that any final decision should be delayed for another month because a standard cost-benefit analysis hadn’t been completed to find out whether the project was actually worthwhile. ....
