38266 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Defence

38266 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Defence: How many staff, if any, made redundant at ministries, agencies and/or departments for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023 were reappointed either directly (i.e., without a competitive process) or after reapplying through a competitive recruitment process, as at 4 August 2025?

Hon Judith Collins: For MOD, none. For NZDF, of the 154 total redundancies during this period, two staff were appointed to new roles within the NZDF (one contractor directly appointed and one fixed-term employee appointed through a competitive recruitment process).
