Dear Sebastian
Official Information Act request for Counter-Terrorism review documents
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 22 November 2021.
You requested a copy of:
1) “Independent Review of Current Activity and Development of a Counter-
Terrorism Strategy” by Steve Long (2015).
2) “Review of Arrangements for Coordinating National Security and
Intelligence Priorities” by Jacki Couchman (2013)
3) “Counter-Terrorism: A review of the New Zealand CT landscape” by Simon
Murdoch (2013)
I have decided under section 15A of the Act to extend the time limits for deciding on your request by
an additional 20 working days. Consequently, the extended due date for your response will be
07 February 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.
Please note under section 2(1) of the Act, days in the period commencing 25 December 2021 through
to 15 January 2022 (inclusive), are not counted as working days.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section 28(3)
of the Act.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Corbett
