19047 (2026). Chlöe Swarbrick to the Minister of Justice: What correspondence, if any, listed by subject and date, did the Minister or members of his office have with the Minister for Climate Change or members of his office on the Government decision to limit tort claims arising from climate change?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I regularly canvas the views of my colleagues as part of the Government's decision making proceses. I do not maintain an exhaustive list of all conversations I have my colleagues. I note that Cabinet considered this matter, of which other Ministers attend. Advice I have recieved from Ministry of Justice officials on tort related issues has been proactively released on the Ministry of Justice website: https://www.justice.govt.nz/assets/Documents/Publications/Proactive-release-Policy-decisions-on-proposals-for-targeted-statutory-reform-of-public-nuisance-tort.pdf
