8099 (2026). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: What was the total monthly spend on online advertising by Fire and Emergency New Zealand, by month and platform, in 2026 to date?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I am advised that the information requested cannot be provided within the time available to respond to this question. Advertising expenditure is not recorded in a way that enables a breakdown by month and platform to be readily produced, and compiling this information would require significant manual collation. I am also advised that platform-level advertising pricing may be commercially sensitive.
