41281 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister of Housing: How many appointments, if any, were made by their agencies, if any, in the last 12 months, and what was the total cost of those appointments, broken down by agency and month?
Hon Chris Bishop: Tāmaki Redevelopment Company Ltd 1) Two directors were appointed by the Minister of Finance, the Minister of Housing and Auckland Council in December 2024 2) The total cost to administer these appointments would take a considerable amount of time to collate this information. Therefore, in accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6 I consider that the time and hence expense, of answering this question cannot be justified as a matter of public interest Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities 1. No appointments were made by the Minister of Finance and Minister of Housing between August 2024 and August 2025 2. Same as point 2 above. As for the cost of those appointments, I am advised by the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development this information would have to be specially collated as it is a changeable figure. Providing the Member with the information requested would require substantial collation and engagement and divert staff from their core duties. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 210/6, that the time, and hence the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
