9523 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: How much, if anything, did the Minister's departments, if any, spend on purchasing goods or services from Starlink in the 2023 calendar year?

Hon Louise Upston: I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development that it has not had any spend directly with Tesla or Starlink in the 2023, 2024 or 2025 calendar years, nor does it have any budgeted spend for the remaining 2025 calendar year. This is also my response to written parliamentary question 9498 (2025), 9528 (2025), 9524 (2025), 10032 (2025) and 10034 (2025).
