224 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Māori Development

224 (2024). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Māori Development: What correspondence, including but not limited to letters, emails, text, whatsapp, signal, telegram or any other electronic messaging, if any has the Minster or his Office sent or received from any Judge of the Waitangi Tribunal, by title and date?

Hon Tama Potaka: A search for such communications would require my staff to undertake a substantial manual collation exercise and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 199-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering this question in the timeframe allowed for written parliamentary questions, is not in the public interest.
