29328 (2025). Hon Jenny Salesa to the Minister of Customs: How many containers or shipments, if any, flagged by Police intelligence have been inspected by NZ Customs since January 2024, and how does this number compare with the previous 2 years?

Hon Casey Costello: I am advised that the New Zealand Customs Service is unable to provide the number of containers or shipments flagged by the New Zealand Police since January 2024 without undertaking substantial collation. I do not consider this use of officials’ time is in the public interest.
