37692 (2026). Mike Davidson to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Does the Minister agree with her official, Deputy National Commander at FENZ Megan Stiffler, that industrial action is "reckless"?

Hon Brooke van Velden: Yes, at least 57 hours of NZPFU strike action has unnecessarily put communities at greater risk. Strike action is not working on an agreement around the bargaining table.
