59257 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for the Public Service

59257 (2025). Camilla Belich to the Minister for the Public Service: Given the confirmation in Written Question 54595 (2025) that ministerial offices were in receipt of PSC draft communications materials nearly two weeks before the industrial action on 23 October, does she consider that earlier public statements that she was “not aware of” of the PSC’s advertising campaign requires clarification or correction, if so, what steps will she take to ensure transparency, proper record-keeping, and clear protocols for the handling of draft communications materials from independent agencies in future politically sensitive situations?

Hon Judith Collins: No. I refer the member to written question 53190 (2025) and my personal statement in the House.
