28091 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Rail: How many people, if any, appointed or reappointed by the Minister since 27 November 2023 to any board, committee, or other body of any agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible have had a conflict of interest management plan put in place, broken down by organisation, role, the number of interests identified as giving rise to a conflict, and the date the plan was put in place, as at 10 June 2026?
Rt Hon Winston Peters: The Office is aware of one instance where a conflict management plan was developed as part of the due diligence process during the appointment phase. This occurred in relation to Scott O'Donnell, who was appointed as a Director on the KiwiRail Board. The conflict management plan for this appointment has already been publicly disclosed through media coverage.
It is the responsibility of each Board to ensure all conflict management plans are kept up to date and managed appropriately, in line with their own policies and protocols. The details of these plans are held by the respective companies.
