What advice, reports, briefings, aide memoires, or any other documents has the Minister or any member of their Office seen, if any, about the Pacific unemployment rate rising to 12.3%, by title and date?

Answer

I am advised that the Treasury publishes a monthly list of titles of advice to Ministers, by the middle of the month after the advice is provided. I refer the member to that list, which can be found here: https://www.treasury.govt.nz/publications/other-official-information/titles-advice-minister-finance-treasury-inland-revenue-and-reserve-bank it is my view that the application of additional resources to answer this and similar questions now is not a good use of taxpayer funds and therefore not in the public interest.
