Has the Minister had any lobbying or advocacy meetings since 27 November 2023 that do not appear in the Minister's published diary, and if so, on what dates, with whom, and for what purpose, as at 5 June 2026?

Answer

To the best of my knowledge, no. However, I attend a number of events which often include advocates for various firms and sectors, and on occasion they will spontaneously raise matters with me in this context. I also bump into New Zealanders of all walks of life while traveling and going about my role. It is not unusual for them to use these opportunities to raise their views or opinions with me. As these engagements are short, informal and multiple they do not feature as scheduled meetings in my Ministerial diary.
