Dear Terry,
15 JUNE 2021: OFFICIAL INFORMATION ACT REQUEST
I refer to your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) dated 15 June 2021 for
information regarding the film
They Are Us.
The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working
days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet
that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of time to make
our decision, to Tuesday 20 July 2021.
This extension is required as consultation necessary to make a decision on the request are
such that a proper response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original
time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Yours sincerely
Tayla Hancock
Policy Advisor
New Zealand Film Commission
