7784 (2026). Hon Dr Deborah Russell to the Minister of Revenue: What aides-mémoire, briefings, memos, notes, reports, or any other advice, if any, has the Minister or their Office received during the week beginning 2 March 2026, listed by agency, title and date received?

Hon Simon Watts: I am advised that Inland Revenue publishes a monthly list of titles of advice to Ministers, in the month after the advice is provided. It is my view that the application of additional resources to answer this and similar questions now is not a good use of taxpayer funds and therefore not in the public interest.
