Hon MICHAEL WOODHOUSE (National) to the Minister of Immigration: Does he stand by all his statements and actions in relation to the deportation liability of Karel Sroubek?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS (Minister of Education) on behalf of the Minister of Immigration: Yes based on the information and advice that was available at the time.Hon Michael Woodhouse: Has any staff from his office had any communications—whether a phone call text message email or face-to-face conversation—with staff from the Minister of Police's office the Minister himself or New Zealand Police employees regarding Karel Sroubek?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: I can't answer that in any great detail. I imagine there would have been conversations certainly in the last 24 hours.Hon Michael Woodhouse: Has any staff from his office had any communications—whether a phone call text message email or face-to-face conversation—with staff from the Minister of Police's office the Minister himself or New Zealand Police employees regarding the personal contact details of the estranged wife of Karel Sroubek?SPEAKER: On behalf of the Minister of Immigration.Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: On behalf of the Minister I have been advised in preparation for this question that the address of Mr Sroubek's estranged wife was already known to immigration officials.Hon Michael Woodhouse: Would it be appropriate for his staff to have had conversations with any other ministerial offices or agencies about locating the estranged wife of Karel Sroubek?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: As I indicated in my answer to the previous question they already had that information.Hon Michael Woodhouse: Does he agree with the comments of the police Minister in respect of Mr Sroubek's estranged wife: There are some people who just need to be kept safe and there is no way that anyone apart from police should know where that is."?SPEAKER: I'm going to give the member another chance to sheet it home to the responsibility of the Minister of Immigration. Currently that question would be fine for the Minister of Police or the Prime Minister but not this Minister.Hon Michael Woodhouse: Speaking to that point Mr Speaker.SPEAKER: No—I've offered the member a chance to re-do the question.Hon Michael Woodhouse: Among his actions is there agreement with the Minister of Police on his comments: "There are some people who just need to be kept safe and there is no way that anyone apart from police should know where that is."?SPEAKER: Now the member's going to have a third chance to get the question right. An agreement is not an action.Hon Michael Woodhouse: Has he seen any reports of the Minister of Police saying "There are some people who just need to be kept safe but there is no way that anyone apart from police should know where that is." and does he agree with that statement?SPEAKER: Well I'll let the Minister answer it. In my view it still didn't get there.Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: On behalf of the Minister yes he has seen those reports and I reiterate what I said in my answer to the last two questions: immigration already had that information.Hon Michael Woodhouse: Why did he think Immigration New Zealand officials requested two police detectives to accompany the immigration officials to the home of the estranged wife of Karel Sroubek?Hon CHRIS HIPKINS: That's an operational matter for those immigration officials."
