Kia ora Rebecca,
I’m following up on my below email sent to you on 2 March 2020 regarding a
potential rescope of your OIA request.
MPI requires more information from you to be able to provide relevant
information to you in response to your request. If you could please get
back to me with the specific aspects of section 183A, or, provide MPI with
a rescoped request, then that would be greatly appreciated.
As stated previously, the request as it currently stands it is likely to
be refused under section 18(f) of the OIA, as the information requested
cannot be made available without substantial collation and research.
