Tēnā koe Micky Turner
I refer to your Official Information Act (OIA) request that was transferred to the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs and Trade on 12 April 2021. You requested the following information:
“All documentation [the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade] has regarding a ‘Taiwan &
New Zealand Travel Bubble’ from 1 April 2020 until now.
Please include all internal emails between Government Ministers, as well as emails to and
from Taiwanese (& Chinese) politcians, NZ mayors, NZ tourism operators, NZ media &
NZ journalists”
This letter advises that, due to the need for further consultation and review, we will need to
extend the deadline for a response to your request until 24 June 2021. We will respond to you
sooner if we are able.
You have the right under section 28(3) of the OIA to seek a review of this response by the
Ombudsman.
Nāku noa, nā
