54465 (2025). Arena Williams to the Minister of Commerce and Consumer Affairs: Were the "new legal protections so banks, telecommunications providers and digital platforms can act faster to block suspected online scams" considered by Cabinet or a Cabinet Committee, and if so, on what dates?

Hon Scott Simpson: I regularly take papers to Cabinet across a range of topics. In the interest of transparency, I proactively release papers considered by Cabinet on the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment website (https://www.mbie.govt.nz/document-library).
