Dear Scott
Official Information Act request relating to eight specific national security documents
(follow-up)
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 25 February 2022.
You requested:
“Thank you for your response of 22 February. I would like to make a follow up request. I
would like to request:
ONE: On page 4 of your release document, it is noted that: "Over the past few months,
officials have undertaken a stocktake of New Zealand’s approach to the prevention of
violent extremism.” I would like to request a copy of this stocktake.
TWO: I would like to request copies of Appendix A and Appendix C of 1819NSPD/094, i.e.
copies of "National Terrorism Threat Assessment (draft Cabinet paper)" and "Counter-
Terrorism Strategic Work Programme (draft Cabinet paper) + Attachments" referred to on
page 12 of your release document.
THREE: On page 15 of your release document, it is noted that: "Officials from DPMC met
with Facebook in early March 2019. At that meeting officials discussed their concern at the
proliferation of terrorist content on social media platforms, and requested Facebook be
more responsive to the legitimate safety and security expectations of the governments of
countries where it operates. Officials also signalled interest in disinformation and the role of
social media companies in combatting it." I request copies of all communications between
DPMC and Facebook relating to this meeting, and copies of any minutes, notes or other
records kept by DPMC for this meeting, and the briefing paper or aide memoire which
resulted from it (if any).
I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limits for deciding on your request by
an additional 25 working days. Consequently, the extended due date for your response will be
4 May 2022.
The extension is required because of the consultations needed to make a decision on your request.
Despite the extension, a response will be sent to you as soon as possible.
