520 (2026). Hon Kieran McAnulty to the Minister of Housing: What IT projects, if any, were shelved or curtailed by Kāinga Ora since 1 July 2024 and how much, if anything, was spent on each system in the five years prior to it being shelved or curtailed?

Hon Chris Bishop: Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities advises me that it discontinued two projects since 1 July 2024. These were a Complaints and Feedback System and an Electronic Timesheet Module. Both these projects were assessed during the Kāinga Ora reshaping process, and it was determined that they did not need to proceed further. There was no project-related spend on these systems.
