28253 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises: Further to NZ Post's public statement that "90% of Kiwis living in urban areas will still be within 4km of an NZ Post store": for how many of the communities affected by the January 2026 changes is the nearest remaining store now more than 4km away, and for how many is it more than 10km away, if any?

Hon Simeon Brown: I am advised that of the stores where NZ Post announced in January 2026, they are ceasing services 29 are more than 4km away to the nearest agency. Of these 29 only 3 stores are more than 10km away to the nearest agency.
