6682 (2026). Hon Barbara Edmonds to the Minister of Finance: Further to the Minister’s answer to written question 3989 (2026): what accounts for the six-month delay between Cabinet making this decision and her announcing the review?

Hon Nicola Willis: Selecting the right people to lead the review took longer than expected due to candidate availability and the need for a balance of international and domestic perspectives.
