Tçnâ koe Mr Jones,

 

On behalf of the Rt Hon Jacinda Ardern, thank you for your Official
Information Act requests on 2 November 2021 and 23 January 2022, regarding
the Prime Minister’s mental health. The requests are not considered
official information under Section 2 of the Act as it is in the Prime
Minister’s personal capacity, rather than her capacity of a Minister of
the Crown.

 

I consider the requests to be vexatious and not made in good faith.
Accordingly, I am refusing your request.

 

You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my
decision under section 28(3) of the Act.

 

Ngâ mihi

 

Private Secretary (Executive Support)

Office of the Prime Minister

Authorised by Rt. Hon Jacinda Ardern MP, Parliament Buildings, Wellington
