7052 (2026). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Statistics: What aides-mémoire, briefings, memos, notes, reports, or any other advice, if any, has the Minister or their Office received during the week beginning 23 February 2026, listed by agency, title and date received?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: Titles of all advice, including briefings, I have received has been, or will be, proactively released on the Stats NZ website here: https://www.stats.govt.nz/about-us/what-we-do/advice-for-the-minister-of-statistics/. I regularly request and receive advice on a range of topics. My office receives a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate that material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles. I do not consider this to be in the public interest.
