Subject: Official Information Act request - Student Loan Scheme Amendment
Act 2014 and Passport Renewal

 

Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

 

In 2013 it was reported that it was being examined whether people who
default on their student loans will face not having their passports
renewed. I would like to request under the Official Information Act:

 

* all advice on whether people who default on their student loans
shouldn't have their passports renewed. Especially given any changes under
the Student Loan Scheme Amendment Act 2014.

 

I am particularly interested in any human rights considerations, given
that Minister Dunne stated "There are also some disadvantages about what
you might describe broadly as human rights issues - the rights of New
Zealanders to a passport, but it certainly has been looked at, yes." I
would like to request any information pertaining to freedom of movement,
potential statelessness or potential illegal immigration statuses of NZ
citizens refused passport renewal in other nations.

 

I would like to know of any policy changes since your OIA reply here:

In the event that any documents are withheld I would like to request the
dates and titles of the documents.

 

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this
request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Jay Maxwell
