Dear Sebastian
Official Information Act request for listed documents regarding the Royal Commission of
Inquiry into the Terrorist Attack on Christchurch Mosques and Counter-Terrorism Strategy
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), received by the
Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet on 12 April 2021. You requested:
“…copies of these five documents underlying the Royal Commission report:
1. The 2013 National Assessments Bureau assessment titled "Far Right Rising: A Dangerous
Myth"
2. The August 2018 draft National Risk Register; failing that, I request a copy of this
document’s Terrorism Risk Profile
3. The September 2018 National Assessments Bureau Global Terrorism Update; failing that, I
request a copy of this report’s “extreme right terrorism” annex
4. The 2018 Counter-Terrorism Strategic Framework
5. The latest Security and Intelligence Board annual strategic assessment prior to 15 March
2019
And I request copies of these six documents underlying the Counter-Terrorism Strategy:
1. The Counter-Terrorism System Capability Review
2. The Counter-Terrorism Work Programme
3. The Counter-Terrorism Implementation Plan
4. The High-Level Framework for the Prevention of Violent Extremism
5. The Public Information Action Plan
6. The Counter-Terrorism Playbook. If the “Counter-Terrorism Handbook” is a separate
document, I request a copy of this as well…”
I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limits for deciding on your request by
an additional 20 working days. Consequently, the extended due date for your response will be 9 June
2021. The extension is required because further consultations are needed to make a decision on your
request. Despite the extension, a response will be sent to you as soon as possible.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section 28(3)
of the Act.
Yours sincerely
