Answer

I am advised by Te Puni Kōkiri that the Public Service Association (PSA) was consulted with before the announcement of role reductions being made in Budget 2026 and were provided with the underlying business case. These meetings occurred on: - 1 October 2025 - 22 October 2025 - 5 November 2025 - 26 November 2025 - 18 March 2026 - 26 March 2026 - 30 April 2026 - 2 June 2026
