Hon Paul Goldsmith: I refer the Member to the Ministry of Justice’s evidence to the Justice Committee during its 2023/24 and 2024/25 annual review of the Ministry’s performance, available on the Parliament website: www.parliament.nz/resource/en-NZ/54SCJUST_EVI_9aee68a1-fdfc-47f0-6508-08dcfd0f043f_JUST34837/b06bf5b7131db3d5651f8b10277cad4d992e2987 The Ministry’s response to Question 180 provides information for the period 1 July 2023 to 30 June 2024. www.parliament.nz/resource/en-NZ/54SCJUST_EVI_8ededee7-5018-44f0-8708-08de115d7541_JUST345474/53d9f08379d7dd0102e3ed4b1707840a89f98340 The Ministry’s response to Question 46 provides information for the period 1 July 2024 to 30 June 2025. For information post June 2025, I refer to the Speaker’s Ruling 199/6; I do not consider it to be in the public interest to undertake an exercise to identify and collate the material requested, as it will require a significant diversion of resource.
