43656 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Attorney-General: Further to WPQ 41024 which members of the judiciary, if any, have been in contact regarding this matter?

Hon Judith Collins: As the senior law officer I am the link between the executive government and the judiciary. This is an important, non-partisan relationship between two of the branches of govt. Communications between the law officer and the judiciary must be able to be open and frank and, accordingly, are confidential.
