21126 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Digitising Government: On how many occasions, if any, broken down by date and title of email or document received, have staff employed in the Minister's office received emails or official Government documents provided to them in their capacity as employees in email accounts that weren't provided to them by Ministerial Services, Parliamentary Services or any other Public sector provider?

Hon Judith Collins: Emails have been sent from parliamentary email addresses for a number of reasons such as forwarding a media story to copy and paste it into a text, sending a copy of personal employment documents to their private email for their records, sending photos to be uploaded on social media as they could not be downloaded on a work phone, and sending media lines to their private email to copy and paste into a message to the Minister because they are unable to copy and paste from Outlook. I am assured that none of the emails contain any material of a sensitive nature. The following emails have been sent from or received by parliamentary accounts: 13 March 2024 Science funding request 25 June 2024 Thomas Manch 27 November 2024 LIB0046315 : Story please 16 July 2024 Op Ed science sector NZH 17 September 2024 20240920 DPA Photos of the week | Unclassified 24 September 2024 News story on missile launch 3 April 2025 National Security Clearance (employment documents for personal records) 17 June 2024 Quantum 3 November 2024 Newsroom 8 March 2025 Lines on Ukraine Peacekeeping 3 February 2024 NZ's role in strikes on Houthis
