10166 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Statistics: What surveys or polling, if any, have been commissioned by any department or entity for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, listed by department or entity, the organisation commissioned to conduct the survey or poll, the subject matter, the date commissioned, and the total cost?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: Stats NZ is New Zealand’s official data agency. As part of its core statutory role, it collects information from people and organisations through official surveys. These surveys are designed, managed, and conducted internally by Stats NZ and are not commissioned from external providers. A list of surveys currently being undertaken by Stats NZ is available on its website: https://www.stats.govt.nz/help-with-surveys/list-of-stats-nz-surveys/. As this does not comprise external polling or survey work, there are no associated costs to report.
