18977 (2026). Mike Davidson to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Does the Minister consider the new online gambling sub-committee to be a specialist committee and if not, why not?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I do not consider the new committee to be a specialist committee. Having a separate distribution mechanism is about keeping the sources of funding separate. It is not about where the funding will be granted.
