69595 (2024). Tamatha Paul to the Minister for Children: Did Mana Mokopuna, the Aroturuki Tamariki Independent Children’s Monitor, and the Ombudsman visit the military-style academy pilot earlier this month, and if so, what feedback, reports, letters or evaluations, if any, did they give to the provider, her, or her office, listed by title and date?

Hon Karen Chhour: I have interpreted the Member's reference to 'the provider' to mean Oranga Tamariki. I am advised that representatives from Mana Mokopuna, Aroturuki Tamariki Independent Children’s Monitor, and the Office of the Ombudsman visited the Military-Style Academy Pilot on 26 September 2024. No feedback, reports, letters, or evaluations have been provided to Oranga Tamariki, myself, or my office.
