33454 (2025). Hon Rachel Brooking to the Minister for Space: How does she ensure sound governance when launch licences and payload permits are granted by her, when the security Ministers she must consult with under the Space Act are both portfolios she holds (Minister responsible for NZ Security Intelligence Service and Minister responsible for the Government Communications Security Bureau)?

Hon Judith Collins: The advice received within different portfolios is generated through separate and independent processes and reporting channels. The separation of these processes ensures balanced and informed decision-making.
