Subject: Official Information request - Student Loan arrest data

 

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

 

It has been reported in the media of the last 9 arrests ( not counting the
most recent one in Jan ) that $30,000 had been collected from the arrests,
this equates to $3750.00 per arrest, counting 8 ( less than the yearly
required minimum ).

 

Could I please have the full costings of court appearances, 2 per head –
initial court appearance and second final hearing?

 

Cost of being arrested, as well as overnight police cell holding costs?

 

Cost of resources, hourly rate of tax agent dedicated to each case?

 

Has the amount collected, $30,000, covered the costs of what has been
spent by the taxpayer?

 

How many of the arrested resulted in a criminal conviction and reason why?

 

And finally, how many of the arrested were unable to pay or refused to
pay?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

robert mckenzie
