Thank you for taking the time to contact Hon Karen Chhour, Minister for

your email to another Minister and/or Member of Parliament who holds
more appropriate portfolio responsibilities, then your correspondence
will be noted.
o Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed
as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact in due
course.
o Media queries will be referred to the Minister’s press secretary.
o If you have made a request for official information, then this will be
managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information

Tēnā koe Ross,

 

On behalf of Hon Louise Upston thank you for your email received 23^rd
April. 

 

We note that you have requested information under the official information
act, however as you are asking for an explanation this does not fall under
the Official Information Act.

 

However you can expect a response from the Minister at their earliest
opportunity answering your question: Will a section of the "Oversight of
Oranga Tamariki System and Children and Young People's Commission Bill,"
which was passed by the previous Labour government and grants future New
Zealand governments immunity from abuses committed by any state
institutions,be repealed by the current Luxon National coalition
government?. .

 

Thank you for taking the time to write.

 

Ngā mihi,
