Dear Terry,

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of the 5^th of January 2022 requesting under the
Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

“I have obtained an MBIE report [Independent Review of Immigration New
Zealand’s Residence Deportation Liability Process] authored by Michael
Heron QC dated 25/09/19. The report deals with potential streamlining
process for immigration deportation liability decisions.

I refer to this link:
[1]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
independent-review-of-immigration-new-zealands-residence-deportation-liability-proces

Within that report (page 38) there is a data table showing three-year’s
worth of information of deportation liability outcomes for [residence visa
holders] for first time driving charges.

I seek data, encompassing 2016 to present:

1.           The number of all [temporary entry process, i.e. temporary
visa holder] driving offenders (be they first time driving charges, or
second or subsequent charges), that MBIE became aware of;

2.           And of that number, how many were served or deemed served
with a Deportation Liability Notice (a DLN);

3.           And of that number served or deemed served, what was the
outcome [DLN cancelled, DLN suspended, or deported];

4.           And of that number [suspended] what was the average
suspension time.

I also seek from 2016 to present:

5.           The number of all [residence visa holder] driving offenders
(be they first time driving charges, or second or subsequent charges),
that MBIE became aware of;

6.           And of that number, how many were served or deemed served
with a DLN;

7.           And of that number served or deemed served, what was the
outcome [DLN cancelled, DLN suspended, or deported];

8.           And of that number [suspended] what was the average
suspension time.”

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course.

 

Please note that the days from 25 December 2021 to 15 January 2022
(inclusive) are defined as non- working days in the Act and are not
counted in the calculation of the maximum timeframe for our response to
your request. This will affect the time period for responding to your
request.

 

If you have any enquiries regarding your request feel free to contact us
via email [2][MBIE request email] or using the contact details below.
