5731 (2026). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Minister of Police: What advice, reports, briefings, aides-memoire or correspondence has the Minister received to support his statement regarding the unhoused population in New Zealand that “Most of them ... have got somewhere to go and sleep, they are rough sleepers, they are choosing to come in and live on the streets and make the pavement their home”?

Hon Mark Mitchell: Titles of advice I have received are proactively released periodically on Police's website.
