Thank you for contacting the office of Hon Eugenie Sage MP, Minister for
Conservation, Minister of Land Information and Associate Minister for the

copied your email to another Minister and/or Member of Parliament with
more appropriate portfolio responsibilities, then this will be noted.

 

·         If you have invited Minister Sage to an event then a member of
staff may contact you for more information.

 

·         If you have made a request for official information then this
will be managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official
Information Act 1982, which may include transfer to a more relevant
Minister or agency.

 

·         If you are a journalist then your request will be passed on to
Minister Sage’s Press Secretary.
