They are mixing two different OIA request with different subject matter into one case.

This is very annoying when it comes to reading requests on this site as the information for one won't be linked to the other.

Kia ora Paul

Under section 18A(2) of the Act, the Ministry may treat two or more requests from the same person that are about the same/similar subject matter or received simultaneously or in short succession as a single request.

If you are unsatisfied with the Ministry's decision to combine your two requests, you may wish to approach the Ombudsman.
