54181 (2024). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister for Children

54181 (2024). Debbie Ngarewa-Packer to the Minister for Children: Further to 50430 (2024) How many tamariki entries into the care or custody of Oranga Tamariki, if any, have police been involved in since 1 November 2023, broken down by entry pathway and demographic?

Hon Karen Chhour: As advised in my answer to WPQ 50430 (2024), to determine what Police involvement there was, if any, for any entry into care would require significant manual collation and I am not prepared to ask this of my officials at this time. As such, in accordance with the Speaker’s Ruling 199-3, I consider that the time, and therefore the expense, of answering the Member’s question is not in the public interest.
