Subject: Official Information request - Covid Cabinet Papers & Alternative Advice: 18 October 2021

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

This afternoon, the Prime Minister made several announcements of decisions made by Cabinet about Covid levels. She said Cabinet had considered advice from officials and outside experts, with the former advocating level 3 for Auckland and the latter level 4.

Under the OIA, I request all Cabinet papers and other material considered by Cabinet today that include or reference advice from officials and/or outside experts on appropriate Covid levels for Auckland, Northland, Waikato and the rest of New Zealand.

Thank you.

Yours sincerely

Matthew Hooton
