Minister of Education visits Queenstown

Education Minister Jan Tinetti says she has no plans to resign from Government, after a "tough" week in which she has been summonsed by the privileges committee.

The committee, comprising senior MPs and chaired by Attorney-General David Parker, has been tasked with investigating whether Ms Tinetti’s delay in correcting a statement to the House amounted to a "contempt of Parliament" or breach of privilege.

The accusation revolved around Ms Tinetti claiming in February she had no responsibility for the release of attendance data, but was told later that day by staff that was an error.
