Question

  • What correspondence, if any, including letters, emails, text messages, WhatsApp, signal, or any other form of electronic communication, has the Minister or any member of their office sent or received with any other Minister or member of their office about the invitation from the US to NZ to help reopen the strait of Hormuz by date and title?

Answer

I and my office engage in correspondence with my Ministerial colleagues and their offices about a wide variety of matters, and this is not categorized in the way the Member has asked. Collating this would require substantial staff resources and thus cost to the taxpayer. I do not believe that this would be in the public interest.
