16433 (2026). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Defence: Further to PWQ 8287, what analysis, reports, or briefings, if any, has the Minister seen on whether or not a bicultural policy would support core military objectives?

Hon Chris Penk: I have yet to be consulted on the bicultural policy content however would expect that only policies that support core military objectives would be advanced.
