48112 (2025). Steve Abel to the Minister of Science, Innovation and Technology: What meetings about the Gene Technology Bill, if any, did the Minister attend during his trip to Australia in May 2025?

Hon Dr Shane Reti: The meetings on the trip were all broadly focused on Australia’s experience using and managing gene technologies and genetically modified organisms, and New Zealand’s Gene Technology Bill was not the explicit subject of any meeting.
