On 20 December 2021
, you emailed my office requesting, under the Official Information
Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:
Kris Faafoi does not appear on this list, were there perhaps substitutions made between
the publishing of this list and the event itself? Please provide any documents relating to
this.
I am advised by the Ministry of Social Development (the Ministry) that they have not been
able to find any documents in their records on substitutions made to the Youth Parliament
attendees list.
Upon inquiry with the Parliamentary Library, my Office was able to locate the 1994 Youth
Parliament Hansard which lists Hon Kris Faafoi as the Youth Parliament Member for
Sydenham. Consultation with my colleague Hon Kris Faafoi confirmed his attendance was
due to a late substitution.
I have attached the 1994 Youth Parliament Hansard for your information.
If you are not satisfied with this response regarding Youth Parliament, you have the right
to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman. Information about how to make a
complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or 0800 802 602.
