Hon DAVID PARKER (Attorney-General) on behalf of the Minister of Energy and Resources: Not quite. I was first advised of Monday's power emergency by a text message from my press secretary at 8.36 p.m. in response to the phone call she had received from One News. A member of my staff in my office was sent an email from Transpower at 7.51 p.m. on Monday, which, understandably, the staff member had not picked up prior to the One News call. This morning, I met with the chair and chief executive of Transpower and received an apology for the lack of earlier communication with my office. Transpower agreed that earlier and direct communication was needed and will occur in future. My priority now is to determine what caused the power outage and what must be done to avoid it happening again.
