I refer the Member to the Department of Internal Affairs' (DIA) Centralised Web Accessibility Checker which ranks agencies compliance with accessibility standards. this can be found on DIA's website: https://www.digital.govt.nz/standards-and-guidance/nz-government-web-standards/centralised-web-accessibility-checker-cwac/agency-leaderboard-cwac
