Subject: Re: Official Information request - Information relating to Rob
Fyfe's role in Covid response

 

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

 

I note this OIA request dated 26 June is long overdue and that you have
said you will action it by 18 September.

 

Given the lapse in time, I would like to lodge an additional OIA request
for all reports/briefings/communications/notes held by DPMC regarding Mr
Rob Fyfe's suggestions and involvement in the Covid business recovery and
his advocacy or any other matters since the 27 June to today.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

George Morrison
