33168 (2026). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Does the Minister agree with the Guardian's conclusion that the safety claim of the suppliers of children's sand products became the de facto position of the New Zealand government, despite having no additional evidence to support it; if so, does he find this concerning?
