46301 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Conservation

46301 (2024). Francisco Hernandez to the Minister of Conservation: How many staff, if any, were employed in the Minister's departments, if any, on 1 July 2024 broken down by job title and salary band range?

Hon Tama Potaka: I am advised by the Department of Conservation that it is not possible to provide the information you have requested in a way that upholds the privacy rights of individual staff within the timeframe available to answer this written question, and attempting to do so would require the Department to undertake substantial manual collation. In accordance with Speaker’s Ruling 199/6, I consider that providing a detailed response to the member’s question is therefore not in the public interest. I invite the member to request this information via the Official Information Act 1982 directly from the Department of Conservation, which will allow them sufficient time to respond.
