Share An Idea Raw Data
Request to Christchurch City Council by Layton Duncan. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 17 December 2012.
Refused.
This response is pretty hilarious. It's a case of "let's decline your response under every rule we can think might possibly apply to ensure that an ap...
New Zealand Birth Certificate
Request to Department of Internal Affairs by Glenn Collis. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 3 December 2012.

Ombudsmen reference number: 345459
Advice to Associate Minister for ACC
Request to Accident Compensation Corporation by Gordon Waugh. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 19 November 2012.
Long overdue.
It's likely the wording you are seeing is taken directly from Section 14(b)(ii) of the OIA. It therefore *probably* isn't an indication in and of itse...
EQCs Reinsurance Details
Refused.
The claim that the mere list of names of EQC's Reinsurers is commercially sensitive is ridiculous on every level.
Scrapping of "State of the Environment" report
Request to Ministry for the Environment by Alex Harris. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 6 November 2012.
Refused.
Disappointing response. There are clearly decisions around not producing 2012's State of the Environment report, they are even mentioned in the respon...
EQCs Reinsurance Details
Refused.
You will almost certainly need to take the lack of response to the Ombudsmen. EQC seem to be incapable of fulfilling their obligations under the OIA....
Minister's Diary for Last Week
Successful.
A successful request and some interesting info. I especially love that Steven Joyce (in his role as a Minister according to him!) was hosted by the To...
Teenage suicide prevention advice to Ministries and Ministers
Request to Ministry of Social Development by Josh Martin. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 1 October 2012.
Successful.
This request was sent on September 12th, it should therefore be responded to well before the October 20th date they list. It seems as if the request h...

The statement that a request for a single day of text messages that relates Cr Michael Laws position within Whanganui District Council is absolutely a...
Background around decision on "vexacious" OIA requests
Request to Taranaki Regional Council by Gavin Millar. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 28 September 2012.
Successful.
I should add, I'd be interested to see the outcome of any Ombudsmen complaint around the TRC's classification of vexacious in this case.
Background around decision on "vexacious" OIA requests
Request to Taranaki Regional Council by Gavin Millar. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 28 September 2012.
Successful.
The provided documents provide some interesting detail. In my opinion they fail to provide any evidence to support the claim that these requests were...
Submissions and Information on Arts Cuts
Request to University of Canterbury by Joshua Grainger. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 1 September 2012.
Partially successful.
The rules are pretty clear about the requester having the choice of how information is provided except in certain circumstances.
From reading the le...
Advice on drug-testing jobseekers
Request to Ministry of Social Development by Alex Harris. Annotated by Gavin Millar on 1 September 2012.
Refused.
Unfortunately it sounds like you'll have to take this to the Ombudsmen to get MSD to follow the rules.
Official Information Act 1982 request regarding Mr Robert Heketh
Information not held.
If one believes the date on the letter it would seem the HRC transferred the request on the 29th of November and informed the Ministry of Justice of t...
Car Sponsors
Successful.
Another attempt by NZ Police to put a damper on OIA requests.
See previous responses from them to see the same strategy being used. It's also noted...
