Kia Ora Sue Grey,
 
Thank you for your emails below.  The answers to your first three
questions are as follows:
 
1.  The costs involved in publication of the 2011 report were:
 

* External reviewer costs:  $1,308.13 + $4,312.50 = $5,620.63 (GST
inclusive)
* InDesign and printing costs: $660.10 (advance copies) + $6,495.25
(500x copies) + $7,512.95 (700x copies) = $14,668.30 (GST inclusive)
* Total production costs (excluding proof-reading): $20,288.93 (GST
inclusive).

 
2.  All of the costs were paid by the PCE.
 
3.  We do not record the time spent by various employees on investigations
and reports.  This is (among other things) because reports are issued by
the PCE under his or her own auspices.
 
We will respond separately in relation to your fourth question.
 
 
 
 
Nāku noa, nā
 
Office of the Parliamentary Commissioner for the Environment
