20524 (2026). Hon Dr Ayesha Verrall to the Minister for Infrastructure: What consultation, if any, did the Minister undertake with Wellington City Council before making public statements about that council's debt transfer decisions?

Hon Chris Bishop: None. My comments at a public meeting in Lower Hutt, which I did not expect to speak at, were made after I was asked to speak impromptu during the evening.
