14504 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Education: What correspondence, if any, including letters, emails, text messages, WhatsApp, signal, or any other form of electronic communication, listed by subject and date, has the Minister, or their office, had with the Minister for Regulation or his office?

Hon Erica Stanford: My office has at least 17 members of staff (including departmental secondees). Requiring all of them to go through multiple channels of communication to identify any correspondence with staff in the Minister for Regulation’s office would require significant time and prevent them from undertaking their day to day role. As such, I do not believe it is in the public interest for staff time to be diverted in this way. If the member would like to be more specific with their question I am happy to consider it.
