Dear Beth

 

On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment I
acknowledge your email of 05 October 2019 requesting under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following:

 

·        I've reviewed your Immigration Policy and note that it is out of
date in regards to Domestic Violence law. Throughout your operation manual
it references the Domestic Violence Act 1995 which has since been repealed
and replaced

 

·        Could you please release any discussion notes, email chains,
policy recommendations or reports regarding this outdated policy and the
potential impact this could have on a person who wishes to claim under
Domestic Violence or has a visa being assessed based on a repealed law.

 

·        When does MBIE expect to update the policy to reflect the new
law?

 

·        What was the earliest date available in records that staff have
raised the issue of the law being outdated and what/if any actions were
taken in regards to this being raised with MBIE?

 

Your request is being processed in accordance with the Act and a response
will be sent to you in due course. If you have any enquiries regarding
your request feel free to contact us via email [MBIE request email] or using
the contact details below.

 

 

Nāku noa, nā
