Dear Ministerial Services,
I firmly disagree with your assessment of the public interest in this case. A cop got drunk on duty and crashed his patrol car - there is enormous public interest in the outcome of this case. I will be referring this request to the ombudsman.
In the mean time I amend my request, however I still require an answer to the original request. For now please provide the following information:
Is Constable Andrew Rush currently employed by the NZ Police?
Yours sincerely,
Chris Doms
