21433 (2025). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister for Oceans and Fisheries: 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 Shane Jones: Emails have been received by staff in my ministerial office from parliamentary email addresses. I am assured the contents of these emails are unclassified administrative emails which were intended for public release and do not contain any material of a sensitive nature. Updated parliament technical procedures have resolved the need for this in the future. To provide a list of these emails would impede the operation of my office which is not in the public interest.
