2370 (2025). Shanan Halbert to the Minister for Auckland: Does he agree with Mark Thomas, director at the Committee for Auckland: The Minister for Auckland portfolio should have clear mandates and measurable targets, ensuring central government initiatives align effectively with Auckland's development, if so, what are his measurable targets for the portfolio?

Hon Simeon Brown: As the Member would have read in my Cabinet paper, 'coordination of government initiatives and engagement in Auckland,' as Minister for Auckland, I have an advocacy and coordination function, with responsibility for providing oversight and ensuring a whole-of government approach is taken to matters that have a significant or disproportionate impact for Auckland.
