39221 (2024). Tangi Utikere to the Minister for State Owned Enterprises: What correspondence, including letters, emails, text messages, whatsapp, signal, or any other form of electronic communication, if any, has the Minister or any member of their Office sent Kiwirail or any person working on behalf of Kiwirail regarding project iRex by subject and date?
Hon Paul Goldsmith: I receive a large volume of correspondence across all my portfolios. As per Speaker’s Ruling 199/6, I do not consider it to be in the public interest to undertake an exercise to identify and collate the material requested, as it will require a significant diversion of resources that will unduly interfere with the operation of my office. The Member might consider resubmitting his questions with a more specific timeframe.
