On behalf of Hon Simon Bridges, thank you for your email. The Minister
considers all correspondence to be important.

 

Please note that although email may increase the speed of delivery, due to
the “behind the scenes” workings of the Minister’s staff required in
responding to emails, it is not always possible to provide the kind of
speedy response users of emails may anticipate.

 

If this is a portfolio or constituent matter, your email will be responded
to in due course.

 

If you are expressing a personal view, thank you for taking the time to
write and please be assured that your comments have been noted.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Office of Hon Simon Bridges

Dear Minister of Labour,

 

On 24 February 2014 the government announced that it would be increasing

cabinet papers etc) relating to this decision.

 

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this
request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

 

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

 

Yours faithfully,
