I am advised that the Ministry of Social Development publishes this information on their website. I refer the Member to the following links: • Benefit Sanctions Fact Sheet: https://view.officeapps.live.com/op/view.aspx?src=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.msd.govt.nz%2Fdocuments%2Fabout-msd-and-our-work%2Fpublications-resources%2Fstatistics%2Fbenefit%2F2026%2Fquarterly-benefit-fact-sheets-sanctions-tables-june-2026.xlsx&wdOrigin=BROWSELINK
