3003 (2024). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for Social Development and Employment

3003 (2024). Hon Carmel Sepuloni to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What meetings, if any, has the Minister, or any member of their Office had during the week of 4th March, by subject, date and names of attendees?

Hon Louise Upston: I proactively release my diary here: https://www.beehive.govt.nz/search?f%5B0%5D=content_type_facet%3Aministerial_diary&f%5B1%5D=ministers%3A6801&f%5B2%5D=government_facet%3A6700 I cannot provide information about my office's attendance at such meetings within a written parliamentary question timeframe as it would require substantial effort and require my office to divert personnel from their core duties. Multiple staff in my office attend a substantial number of meetings in any given week. In accordance with Speaker's Ruling 199-6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering these questions within this timeframe is not in the public interest.
