8965 (2024). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister of Customs: In the Minister’s departments, ministries and agencies for which savings have been identified resulting from the Government’s directive to reduce expenditure in the public service, if any, how many employees who are set to lose their roles have a focus on working with Māori?

Hon Casey Costello: I am advised that no positions within the New Zealand Customs Service that are being disestablished through the voluntary redundancy or enhanced early retirement process have a focus on working with Māori.
