Ombudsmen Act 1975

Miscellaneous provisions

29: Annual report

You could also call this:

"The Ombudsmen's yearly report to the House of Representatives about their work."

Illustration for Ombudsmen Act 1975

The Ombudsmen make a report every year to the House of Representatives. You can think of the House of Representatives as a big group of people who help make decisions for New Zealand. The report is about how the Ombudsmen did their job under the Ombudsmen Act 1975, the Official Information Act 1982, the Local Government Official Information and Meetings Act 1987, and the Protected Disclosures (Protection of Whistleblowers) Act 2022. The Ombudsmen have to follow some rules when they make this report, which are guided by section 22 and any other rules the House of Representatives makes.
