<p><span data-contrast="auto">Michael Heron KC will lead the investigation. Media outlet RNZ, who has broken several of the leaked documents, was approached to help with the investigation, which they declined. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Secretary for Education Rob Campbell wrote in an email to Ministry staff that he was “deeply concerned by the recent unauthorised disclosures of confidential documents to a journalist. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">“These anonymous leaks not only harm our organisation but also unfairly create mistrust within our teams and distract from our professionalism and hard work.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">Labour education spokesperson Willow-Jean Prime had previously said, on the Kāhui Ako leaks, that sharing confidential information was usually indicative of discontent. </span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">“When information like this is shared, which is Budget-sensitive, I think it does show that there is concern and disillusionment around what the minister is doing, and the lack of process in terms of what the minister is doing.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
<blockquote>
<p><span data-contrast="auto">“The key issue here is that it is really unclear what the government is doing, why they are doing it and what their process is, and what I am hearing from teachers is that they are confused.”</span><span data-ccp-props="{}"> </span></p>
