The request was partially successful.
From: Sam Mellor
Dear Ministry of Transport,
I am writing to request copies of all official briefings, memos, or advice provided and received by MoT regarding the provision of a "Green Transport Card" or similar proposals aimed at "reducing the cost of public transport, prioritsing people in low income households and people on a benefit".
For context, this policy goal is outlined in 2(a) of the Confidence and Supply Agreement between NZ Labour and the Green Party.
Thank you for considering my request.
Yours faithfully,
Samuel Mellor
