37300 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport

37300 (2026). Tangi Utikere to the Minister of Transport: Further to reply 33496 (2026), for each project listed in the attachment to that reply, what ex-gratia payments, relocation payments, or other compensation beyond the purchase price has the NZTA paid to vendors, in total and broken down by project and payment category?

Hon Chris Bishop: I am advised that responding to the information sought would require substantial collation, review, and processing. This would divert officials from their core duties. In accordance with Speakers’ Rulings 210/6, I consider that the time and expense involved would not be in the public interest and would not represent an efficient or proportionate use of officials’ resources.
