8492 (2026). Kahurangi Carter to the Minister of Police: What has been the total budget for aerial cannabis operations during this term of Government, broken down by financial year?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I have received updates on aerial cannabis operations in the form of weekly reports. These were received on 3 March and 17 March 2024. The operations may have been discussed verbally and informally on other occasions; however, it would not be feasible to identify all such instances across the term of this government.
