Dear Mr Benseman
Thank you for your Official Information Act request to the Department of
Conservation, dated 31 May 2019. You have made the following request:
Between 1-1-2010 and 1-1-2014 there were 560 emails between DOC and Beef +
Lamb NZ Ltd's front company OSPRI relating to 1080 poisoning of Kea. Please
provide all the emails between 1-1-2010 and 1-1-2011. I note previously you have
stated it is too much hard work to forward emails. There is mass email technology
available that allows you to select hundreds of emails in minutes, and then forward to
me.
We note that the information you have requested was provided to you under a request you
made on 29 January 2018 (enclosed with our letter of 7 March 2018 and sent to you in
an email to your personal email address of the same date).
Accordingly, we do not propose to provide further copies of that information to you.
You are entitled to seek an investigation and review of my decision by writing to an
Ombudsman as provided by section 28(3) of the Official Information Act.
If you wish to discuss this with the Department, please contact us at
[email address]. Yours sincerely
Amber Bill
