8861 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises: How many of the 142 shared-site service counters being closed by NZ Post are operated by small businesses, such as dairies or independent convenience stores, as opposed to larger retail chains or franchises?

Hon Simeon Brown: As the Member will be aware, in many cases a franchise itself can be considered to be a small business. I refer the Member to the NZ Post website of all franchises: https://www.nzpost.co.nz/tools/find-nz-post.
