7417 (2026). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Justice: How, if at all, was the role of Law Commission President advertised prior to Professor Amokura Kawharu being appointed?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: That appointment was made under a previous government. I am advised by my officials that the vacancy was not advertised.
