50737 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for the Public Service: Has the Public Service Commission created or utilised any informal, temporary, or project-based teams since 27 November 2023 to undertake communications, advertising, or social media work related to strike action or industrial relations in the public sector?

Hon Judith Collins: I am advised that the Public Service Commission established a cross-agency coordination group with agencies impacted by the strike action to deliver a strategic and coordinated response to the strike action that took place on 23 October 2025. In addition, two staff members from two agencies provided some support to the Commission’s Communications team for the period 14 October 2025 to 24 October 2025. All other work was carried out in house by Commission employees.
