35101 (2025). Rachel Boyack to the Minister for Arts, Culture and Heritage: What communications, if any, has the Minister received on the use of Te Ara Encyclopedia of New Zealand, the Dictionary of New Zealand Biography, NZHistory.govt.nz, and Te Akomanga for teaching the New Zealand History Curriculum from educational professionals?

Hon Paul Goldsmith: I am advised that my office has received correspondence on this matter. However, as per Speaker’s Ruling 199/6, I do not consider it to be in the public interest to undertake an exercise to identify and collate the material requested, as it will require a significant diversion of resources that will unduly interfere with the operation of my office.
