Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Kris Faafoi, thank you for your email. 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not always possible to
personally reply to all emails.  As such, the following guidelines apply:

·        Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due course

·        All media queries will be responded to by a staff member

·        Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency

·        If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you

Thank you for the taking the time to write.

Nga mihi,

Office of Hon Kris Faafoi

Kia ora Deborah,

I understand that Minister Faafoi’s office will have been in touch noting
that this OIA request has been transferred to Minister Hipkin’s office as
the matter falls within his COVID-19 Response portfolio responsibilities.

Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request
received on 22 April 2021. You requested:

 

“…amount spent by the NZ government on advertising with all radio
stations, all publications, all television channels, any and all
advertising outlets in any form that used government funding to provide
any type of information associated with Covid19 from January 2020 to
date.  ”

 

I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limit for
deciding on your request by an additional 20 working days.

 

The extension is required because of the consultations 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.
