29409 (2026). Rt Hon Chris Hipkins to the Minister for Regional Development: What was the total cost, if any, of travel for each of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment officials who travelled to the Indigenous Geothermal Symposium, and Geothermal Rising Conference, in Reno, Nevada with Minister Shane Jones?

Hon Shane Jones: Identifying and classifying the requested information in the time available would require significant staff time and resources. Given the administrative burden and cost, I do not consider this to be in the public interest. I also note that requests for this information have now been made under the Official Information Act, and a response can be expected in due course.
