On the issue of New Zealand's decision to abstain on the re-appointment of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, the Member has already been provided, through replies to her many previous WPQs on the issue, all relevant information. The Member is welcome to avail herself of the Official Information Act if she still wishes to make further requests of information on this matter.
