Subject: Official Information request - Covid19 State of National
Emergency

 

Dear Ministry of Civil Defence & Emergency Management,

 

Back in March of 2020 Minister Peeni Henare made declarations of a State
of National Emergency for the Covid-19 pandemic as shown in the following
Gazette notice [5]https://gazette.govt.nz/notice/id/2020-g...

 

Under the Official Information Act we request the following;

 

1) For the current Covid-19 lockdown from August 2021 please provide the
Gazette notice of the current National State of Emergency.

 

2) We can not find the Gazette notice at (1), so if the legislation has
changed so it does not require the same treatment, please explain what the
change is and how notice is provided via Gazette?

 

3) Lastly can you confirm the current Covid-19 Lockdown is a "State of
National Emergency" or if it is not what type of "Emergency" is it?

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mark Brown
