Summary
The opposition is demanding a full audit of the Prime Minister’s office after a key document from the Smith vs Fonterra case went missing and was sent via private email — sparking fears of systemic record-keeping failures. Labour insists current reviews aren’t sufficient and is calling on the Auditor-General to investigate whether the office has proper systems, accurate records, and compliance with the Public Records Act and Official Information Act. They argue this isn’t just an oversight — it’s a threat to public trust, especially when it involves high-level government communications with corporate interests. With the Ombudsman and DIA lacking the necessary independence, Labour is pushing for an impartial, thorough review to ensure the PM’s office operates with the transparency and integrity expected at the highest levels of government.
