Dear Ministry for Pacific Peoples,

I noted;

https://www.mpp.govt.nz/assets/Corporate...

The Ministry’s Nominations Service aims to recognise Pacific leaders and raise their leadership profiles through nominations to state sector boards and through the New Zealand honours system (New Year and Queen’s Birthday Honours). We put forward 292 nominees for governance positions across the state sector, exceeding our 2020/21 target by 262 nominees, and made 25 nominations for the New Zealand Royal Honours.

You have made 25 nominations for the New Zealand Royal Honours. Can you please provide how do you select the candidate to nominate or endorse for Royal Honours? What is the process behind the selection. Do you have a nomination panel? Please provide any internal policy, memo regarding this matter. when you said you have made nominations, what sort of things you do, a support letter or you are the lead nominator for the Royal Honours?

Yours faithfully,

john luke
