13074 (2024). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Further to Reply 4354 : What "expectations" were made clear to the Chief Executive of the Department of Internal Affairs?
Hon Brooke van Velden: My expectation has always been very clear that all New Zealanders applying for passports be treated equally regardless of their public status, that every official dealing with passports is not to have their personal relationships play into their role, and that the privacy of individuals is upheld and not disclosed to other individuals.
