Dear Ryan Potts

I am writing to clarify your request for information under the Official Information Act.

When you refer to advice concerning the availability of New Zealanders to work in the dairy sector over the past 6 months, are you referring to Skills Match Reports from Work and Income New Zealand that relate to dairy industry jobs?

Please note, any clarification or amendment of a request is considered to be a new request for the purpose of calculating the maximum statutory timeframe for response-see section 15(1AA) of the OIA. If you have any questions you can contact me.

Kind regards
