1638 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Statistics: What advice, reports, briefings, aide memoires, or any other documents has the Minister or any member of their Office received, if any, for the week beginning 26 January 2026, by title and date?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: Titles of all advice, including briefings, I have received have been, or will be, proactively released on the Stats NZ website here: https://www.stats.govt.nz/about-us/what-we-do/advice-for-the-minister-of-statistics/. I regularly request and receive advice on a range of topics. My office receives a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles. I do not consider this to be in the public interest.
