Dear Mr Kern
Inland Revenue has received your request of 18 February 2021, made under the Official
Information Act 1982 (OIA). Further to your previous OIA requests of 23 July 2020, 31 July
2020, 1 September 2020, 29 September 2020, 20 October 2020 and 12 January 2021, you
requested:
IRD has recently released a statement signed by so-cal ed 'Manager, Government &
Executive Services' … containing a phrase, quote "I reject your assertion that child
support debt and child support customer deaths are linked.", which is contrary to the
factual background, which in turn was subject of numerous media releases and even
made its way to Wikipedia.
Obviously, it is not another example of psychopathic approach 'Trust me, I am from
the government', nor blatant lie to cover up serial killers, responsible for killing
hundreds of people every year.
It is clear, especially keeping in mind the decision by the department not to record
the cause of deaths of child support customers, that so-cal ed 'Manager, Government
& Executive Services' … relying in his statement on investigations, reports, letters or
whatever clarifying the link between child support debt and child support customer
deaths.
I am requesting these documents.
Inland Revenue has also received your similar request of 2 March 2021.
Your previous request of 12 January 2021 about the same topic was refused under section
18(h) of the OIA, as it was vexatious. Your request of 18 February 2021 continues to be
offensive and an excessive and disproportionate approach to the issue that concerns you.
Inland Revenue continues to reject your assertion that child support debt and child support
customer deaths are causatively linked. Inland Revenue is not aware of any evidence or
document that would justify such a view.
Right of review
If you disagree with my decision on your OIA request, you can ask an Inland Revenue
review officer to review my decision. To ask for an internal review, please email the
Commissioner of Inland Revenue at: [email address].

Alternatively, under section 28(3) of the OIA, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
investigate and review my decision. You can contact the office of the Ombudsman at:
[email address].
Yours sincerely

Manager, Government & Executive Services
