28401 (2026). Camilla Belich to the Minister for Tertiary Education: In how many cases, if any, was a director or member of a board or committee excluded from or absent for more than one-third of agenda items during their tenure at any agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, broken down by organisation, role, the proportion of items missed, and the total remuneration paid for the period concerned, as at 10 June 2026?

Hon Penny Simmonds: I refer the member to my response to written parliamentary question 28159 (2026). This is also my response to WPQ 28405, 28406 (2026). **CONTEXT** WPQ 28159 (2026): Camila Belich to Penny Simmonds: 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? Draft Response: The information requested is not held centrally but is held by individual tertiary education institutions and industry skills boards, which are independent Crown entities or statutory bodies. Collating this material would require substantial collation and research by officials. However, I note that tertiary education institutions and industry skills boards are subject to the Official Information Act 1982 and recommend the member seeks this information from the relevant organisations via request under that Act.
