35282 (2026). Hon Willow-Jean Prime to the Minister for Children: How long, if at all, has Oranga Tamariki's Korowai Manaaki youth justice facility been without a Residence Manager?

Hon Karen Chhour: I am advised that the previous Residence Manager left Korowai Manaaki in December 2025; however, at no point has the residence been without a manager as other staff have acted in the role as required.
