9282 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Children: What hui, conferences, away-days, or staff events, if any, costing more than $10,000 in total have been held by any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, listed by department or entity, event name or purpose, date, location, number of attendees, and total cost?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised that this information is not held centrally by Oranga Tamariki. To provide the information requested would require significant manual collation and I am not prepared to ask this of my officials at this time. As such, in accordance with the Speakers' Ruling 199-3, I consider that the time, and therefore the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
