What Cabinet papers, if any, has the Minister taken to Cabinet since 1 January 2026, listed by title and date?
Answered by
Hon Shane Jones
List MP · NZ First · Minister for Resources
Answer
With the exception of Cabinet Appointments and Honours (APH) papers and minutes, all Cabinet and Cabinet committee papers and minutes must be proactively released and published online within 30 business days of final decisions being taken by Cabinet, unless there is good reason not to publish all or part of the material, or to delay the release beyond 30 business days. It is my view that the application of additional resources to answer this and similar questions now is not a good use of taxpayer funds and therefore not in the public interest.
