Official Information Act 1982 average response times (media companies vs members of the public).

Mr M P Ross made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice

Ministry of Justice did not have the information requested.

From: Mr M P Ross

Dear Ministry of Justice,

Under the Official Information Act 1982, I ask the following about Official Information Requests, which of course is administered by the Ministry of Justice.

1) Do media companies and organisations receive preferential treatment to their official information request in terms of receiving responses/official information faster than individual members of the public under the Official Information Act 1982?

2) What is the average or mean waiting time (in days) for individuals to receive request information from every department or interdepartmental venture, Minister of the Crown, and organisations in accordance with section 12 of the Official Information Act 1982?

3) What is the average or mean waiting time (in days) to receive request information on behalf of media companies (e.g. Stuff.co.nz, Newshub, Radio NZ, TVNZ, NZ Herald) from every department or interdepartmental venture, Minister of the Crown, and organisations in accordance with section 12 of the Official Information Act 1982?

4) Do departments, interdepartmental ventures, Ministers of the Crown, and organisations intentionally delay the release of official information that they have available? e.g. 'someone and/or a department has the information ready, and they sit on it for 2 weeks'.

Yours faithfully,

Mr M P Ross
