53215 (2025). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: Does she agree with Fire and Emergency New Zealand Chief Executive Kerry Gregory that Fire and Emergency New Zealand “…can't keep doing everything for everybody and that's not a bad thing”, if so, why?

Hon Brooke van Velden: I expect Fire and Emergency to meet their statutory obligations required under the Fire and Emergency New Zealand Act 2017.
