Questions to Ministers
TODD MULLER to the
Prime Minister: Does she agree with Auckland University
School of Medicine Professor Des Gorman that not all of the
2,159 people who left managed isolation between June 9 and
16 will probably be tracked down, and “we have to make the
assumption these people have re-seeded the infection in the
community”?
TODD MULLER to the Prime Minister: Is
it correct that on 20 May, daily COVID-19 situation reports,
including the New Zealand border response, sent to
Ministers, ended; if so, why?
Dr DEBORAH RUSSELL to
the Minister of Finance: What recent reports has he seen on
Government initiatives to support businesses through
COVID-19?
Hon PAUL GOLDSMITH to the Minister of
Finance: What advice has he received, if any, on the number
of jobs that could be lost over the next three months or 12
months if New Zealand fails to create “the world’s most
intelligent border” that he spoke about on 4
June?
Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE to the Minister of
Housing: What examples, if any, is she aware of where people
in managed isolation have mixed with other guests at the
facility during their 14-day stay?
ANGIE
WARREN-CLARK to the Associate Minister of Health: What
recent announcements has she made regarding funding for our
health and disability system?
Hon JUDITH COLLINS to
the Minister for Economic Development: Does he stand by his
statement yesterday in the House, “construction projects
are an important part of the Government’s response to the
recession caused by COVID-19”; if so, when will projects
identified by the Infrastructure Industry Reference Group
that he announced with the Minister of Infrastructure, be
announced?
KIRITAPU ALLAN to the Minister of
Agriculture: What action has the Government taken to support
jobs in the dairy sector?
CHRIS BISHOP to the
Minister of Transport: Does he stand by his statement,
“one of my first actions as Minister will be to have
officials advise on how quickly we can start, and how soon
we can get it [light rail to the airport] built. I would
expect Queen Street to Mount Roskill within four years as a
minimum. If we can do it faster, we will”, and when does
he expect construction to begin on Auckland light
rail?
Dr LIZ CRAIG to the Minister of Health: What
recent action has the Government taken to strengthen our
COVID-19 testing and protect New Zealanders from the
virus?
JENNY MARCROFT to the Minister of Defence:
What recent announcements has he made regarding the
replacement of the C-130 Hercules fleet?
SIMON
O'CONNOR to the Minister of Customs: What steps has she

home?
