I took this paper, titled: Phase 1 Plan to support schools through the impacts of fuel supply uncertainty, to Cabinet on 20 April 2026.
This answer does not cover members of my office who receive a large amount of material every week. Asking them to collate the material would require substantial collation and research and prevent them from undertaking their substantive roles.
