31888 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister for Social Development and Employment

31888 (2026). Hon Ginny Andersen to the Minister for Social Development and Employment: What reporting, if any, do officials receive on the performance of the Jobs and Skills Hub operating in relation to the RiverLink project in Lower Hutt, how frequently is that reporting received, when was the most recent report received, and will he release it?

Hon Louise Upston: I am advised that due to how information is recorded in Ministry systems, officials do not receive reporting on the performance of the Lower Hutt Jobs and Skills Hub in relation to the RiverLink Project specifically. To provide specific information in relation to the RiverLink project would require substantial manual collation and engagement diverting staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, I consider that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
