51917 (2025). Teanau Tuiono to the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety: Did any of the WorkSafe Board members that were replaced ask to stay on and if so why were they not retained?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I asked MBIE to undertake an open recruitment process and I made decisions based on advice from MBIE and my own assessment of the particular skills and experience needed on the Board to deliver my new direction for WorkSafe New Zealand.
