Answer

As Minister for Media and Communications, I am not responsible for any departments. For Budget 26 baseline savings targets I refer the Member to page 66 and 67 of the following document: https://budget.govt.nz/budget/pdfs/summary-initiatives/b26-sum-initiatives.pdf. As per Speaker’s Ruling 199/6, I do not consider it to be in the public interest to undertake an exercise to identify and collate the additional material requested for the entities I am responsible for, as it will require a significant diversion of resource.
