1042 (2026). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Finance: What aides-mémoire, briefings, memos, notes, reports, or any other advice, if any, has the Minister or their Office received during the week beginning 8 December 2025, listed by agency, title and date received?

Hon Nicola Willis: I am advised that the Treasury publishes a monthly list of titles of advice to Ministers, by the middle of the month after the advice is provided. I refer the member to that list, which can be found here: https://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/other-official-information/titles-advice-minister-finance-treasury-inland-revenue-and-reserve-bank it is my view that the application of additional resources to answer this and similar questions now is not a good use of taxpayer funds and therefore not in the public interest.
