25009 (2026). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister of Defence: What events or meetings, if any, did the Minister decline to attend during the week beginning 25 May 2026, including location, event description, and attendees?

Hon Chris Penk: I receive a large number of invitations, and I do not believe it is in the public interest to provide this level of detail for declined invitations. The Member can refer to my published diary for invitations which were accepted.
