53257 (2025). Lemauga Lydia Sosene to the Minister of Internal Affairs: What roles are included in Fire and Emergency New Zealand’s proposal to cut 13% of non-firefighting roles across New Zealand, and where are these roles based?

Hon Brooke van Velden: The organisational restructure that Fire and Emergency New Zealand (Fire and Emergency) is undertaking is an operational matter, and it would be inappropriate for me to comment further. As Fire and Emergency management are consulting with their people in an internal process it isn’t appropriate to provide the full detail requested.
