11737 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister of Education: At what time did anyone at the Ministry of Education first become aware that the video in her 24 March 2026 ministerial email to school principals had been uploaded to a party political YouTube channel and what action, if any, did they take?

Hon Erica Stanford: I understand the Ministry of Education became aware of this error through media reporting on the morning of 25 March 2026. By that time the error had already been resolved.
