On behalf of the Ministry of Business, Innovation, and Employment, thank
you for your email.

 

As you will be aware, the Prime Minister announced a 4 level COVID-19
alert system for New Zealand. As a result, the Ministry of Business,
Innovation, and Employment has shifted to alternative ways of working.

 

Should your email be a request for Official Information this response
serves as your acknowledgement, and we will endeavour to respond to you as
soon as practicable.

Dear John Luke

 

Thank you for your email of 29 April 2020 to the Ministry of Business,
Innovation and Employment requesting, under the Official Information Act
1982 (the Act), the following information:

 

I would like to know since my last request what measure you have apply to
ensure the photo is fit with the requirements? Have you check all the
photos upload to the system? if yes, how come there are still many that
didn't meet the requirements? After few easy search I can still find lots
photo that did not meet with your requirements and still allow to be
online. Some examples are below:

 

I am writing to advise you that the Ministry will provide a response but
needs to extend the time available to answer your request.  The Ministry’s
response will be with you no later than 19 August 2020.

 

The reason for the extension is that consultations necessary to make a
decision on the request are such that a proper response to the request
cannot be made within the original time limit.

 

This length of extension is due to the current situation in New Zealand
relating to Covid-19. Resource and capacity has been impacted by the
agency working remotely and essential projects relating to the Covid-19
response. If you would like to withdraw your request or contact our
Ministerial Services team to re-scope your request, please email
[1][MBIE request email]. We will respond to your request sooner if we are
able.

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

Yours sincerely
