12924 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Does the Minister agree with Coroner Hesketh in his report that the number of deaths from corded blind strangulations in New Zealand is increasing?

Cameron Brewer: It is not appropriate for a Minister of the Crown to comment on the empirical accuracy of a Coroner’s report.
