2957 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Foreign Affairs: What categories of sexual harassment allegations have been recorded in each calendar year since 2015 in relation to any staff, employees, secondees, contractors, or office holders for whom the Minister has responsibility in connection with the portfolio, broken down by type of allegation, if any?

Rt Hon Winston Peters: I am advised that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade categorises all sexual harassment as unacceptable behaviour. For Antarctica New Zealand, cases included unwanted sexual advances, unwanted physical contact and unwanted verbal comments. For the Asia New Zealand Foundation, the answer is none.
