12237 (2026). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Defence: What events or meetings, if any, did the former Associate Minister of Defence decline to attend during the week beginning 23 March 2026, including location, event description, and attendees?

Hon Chris Penk: I receive a large number of invitations, and I do not believe it is in the public interest to provide this level of detail for declined invitations. The Member can refer to my published diary for invitations which were accepted.
