Thank you for contacting the Hon Priyanca Radhakrishnan, Minister for the
Community and Voluntary Sector, Minister for Diversity, Inclusion and
Ethnic Communities, Minister for Youth, Associate Minister for Social
Development and Employment and MP for Maungakiekie. The Minister considers
all correspondence important and appreciates you taking the time to
write.  Please note that as Minister Radhakrishnan receives a large amount
of correspondence it is not always possible to personally reply to all
emails.

The following guidelines apply:

o Portfolio related correspondence will be considered and responded to
where appropriate.
o Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed
as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in
due course.  Please note this email is an acknowledgment that your
invitation/request has been received.
o Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.
o Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with
the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include
transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
o If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be
no further response to you.
o If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of Parliament
for Maungakiekie, this will be referred to her electorate office.

Thank you again for writing.
