The Hon Grant Robertson, Finance Minister, delivered the IPANZ Annual Address at the Beehive last Thursday. He said he wanted to have "a Budget process and a public sector that are structured around measuring and improving wellbeing outcomes." This would be based on Treasury's work on the Living Standards Framework and a set of sustainability indicators and would take full effect with the 2019 Budget. Politicians would also back the public service to be innovative - and to work with each other and the community.
