69450 (2024). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Associate Minister of Justice

69450 (2024). Hon Dr Duncan Webb to the Associate Minister of Justice: What correspondence of any kind (including emails, text messages etc) has the Minister had, when and with whom, in respect of the proposed three strikes regime since 1 August 2024?

Hon Nicole McKee: In order to respond to the Member's question I would need to manually search, review, and compile communications across all platforms to determine whether these fall within the scope of the Member’s query. This process will be excessively time-consuming, administratively burdensome, and likely to divert my staff from their essential duties in supporting the governance of New Zealand. Therefore, pursuant to Speaker's Ruling 199/6, I do not believe it is in the public interest to direct my staff to carry out this task.
