Answer

I am advised that the New Zealand Customs Service has categorised all cases of sexual harassment as harassment recorded during the period 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2025. I refer the member to the attached appendix which shows the total number harassment allegations recorded during this period, broken down by year and total.
