Answer

I am advised by Oranga Tamariki that the total amount of additional payments, allowances or expenses that were paid to board or committee members of Oranga Tamariki from 27 November 2023 to 8 June 2026 is $429,291. I am further advised that Oranga Tamariki is not able to provide a detailed breakdown of the amount per types of expense. The types of additional payments included in the total cost for ‘Other Expenses’ are: • Accommodation • Travel Expenses (mileage, airfares, rental car, taxi) • Meetings (venue hire, catering, equipment) • Koha Payment
