36033 (2026). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Ethnic Communities: What correspondence, if any, including letters, emails, text messages, WhatsApp messages, Signal messages, or any other form of written or electronic communication, has the Minister or any member of the Minister’s office sent or received regarding remarks made by Winston Peters during the general debate that resulted in the Chinese Embassy in New Zealand lodging formal diplomatic concerns by date and title?

Hon Mark Mitchell: I regularly receive correspondences from members of the public on a range of topics. I do not see it as a good use of time to list these for the Member.
