9589 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Children

9589 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Children: What contractor or consultant engagements, if any, are currently active across any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible, where the individual contractor or consultant is being paid at a rate exceeding $200 per hour, listed by department or entity, role or engagement description, daily or hourly rate, and contract start date?

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.
