Written Question
Published date: 15 Oct 2024
64448 (2024). Hon Jan Tinetti to the Minister of Education: What correspondence, including letters, emails, text messages, WhatsApp, signal, or any other form of electronic communication, if any, has the Minister or any member of their Office sent or received in the period 22 July 2024 - 22 September 2024 (inclusive), to the NZ First Party Leader’s Office by subject and date?
Hon Erica Stanford: My office has at least 17 members of staff (including departmental secondees). Requiring all of them to go through multiple channels of communication to identify all correspondence with staff in the NZ First Party Leader’s Office in a two month period would require significant time and prevent them from undertaking their day to day role. As such, I do not believe it is in the public interest for staff time to be diverted in this way. If the member would like to be more specific with their question I am happy to consider it.
