Dear T. Benseman
I am writing to you on behalf of the Office of the Prime Minister (PMO).
You have requested:
the complete accounting of all correspondence, meetings, phone
conversations, memos, payments etc between you and the United Nations (and
their agents). And also, between all branches of your government, and the
United Nations (and their agents) between 1/8/2019 and 1/8/2020.
On review of your request, PMO believe the information you have requested
would likely to be refused under section 18(f) of the Act, as it would
require substantial collation or research to provide.
Therefore, we are seeking a refinement of your request. I believe this
could be achieved by limiting your request to specific information
regarding the United Nations.
Please advise whether you are happy to refine your request by 18 August.

Please note information about meetings related to the Ministers’
portfolios will be proactively released (this does not include personal or

date, time (start and finish), brief description, location, who the
meeting was with, and the portfolio. If you attend a meeting with the
Minister on behalf of an organisation, the name of the organisation will
be released. If you are a senior staff member at an organisation, or meet
with the Minister in your personal capacity, your name may also be
released. The location of the meeting will be released, unless it is a
private residence. The proactive release will be consistent with the
provisions in the Official Information Act, including privacy
considerations. Under the Privacy Act 1993 you have the right to ask for a
copy of any personal information we hold about you, and to ask for it to
be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of
your information, or to have it corrected, or are concerned about the
release of your information in the meeting disclosure, please contact the
sender. You can read more about the proactive release policy at
