In how many cases, if any, was a director or member of a board or committee excluded from or absent for more than one-third of agenda items during their tenure at any agency, department, Crown entity, company, or other organisation for which the Minister is responsible since 27 November 2023, broken down by organisation, role, the proportion of items missed, and the total remuneration paid for the period concerned, as at 10 June 2026?

Answer

As Minister for the Public Service and Digitising Government, I am responsible for the Māori Advisory Group (MAG) within the Government Digital Delivery Agency. The MAG is established under section 51 of the Digital Identity Services Trust Framework Act 2023 and provides advice on Māori interests and knowledge as they relate to the operation of the trust framework. There have been nine MAG meetings held from 10 Dec 2024 to 29 April 2026 with a total of 68 agenda items across that period. One MAG member was absent for more than one-third of agenda items during their tenure. For the total remuneration paid to MAG members for the period concerned, I refer the Member to reply 27604 (2026).
