From: Harris Leigh
Dear Public Service Commission,
On 3 September 2023, National Party housing spokesperson, Chris Bishop MP was reported as saying “Hope so” when asked if there will be job losses at Kainga Ora following the formation of a National-led Government after this year's elections.

Under the OIA I seek copies of any information held by the PSC relating to these comments.
Without limitation of the above I specifically seek information about any advice you have provided to Kainga Ora or HUD relating to how they should prepare for redundancies in the case of a potential change of government in a manner that is consistent with good faith requirements of the Employment Relations Act and/or how to avoid concerns about predetermination based on Mr Bishop's comments.
Yours faithfully,
Harris Leigh
