I don't often comment on DPFs blog but this is an exception:

Now I have no doubt that Willis' claims from the Newshub article are
excessive, but if the PREFU excludes items in the government budget
(such as items that are not permanently funded) then either Treasury
was at fault or legislation needs to be amended. Fiscal Updates of
all types need to include everything specified in relevant past
budgets, otherwise the Fiscal Update is not accurate.
