Kia ora Nic,

 

I refer to your official information request dated 7 December 2021 for
information related to Creative New Zealand’s Conflict-of-Interest
Register.

 

The Official Information Act requires that we advise you of our decision
on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received
your request i.e., 25 January. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to
meet that time limit due to the needs to consult and we are therefore
writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to
31 January. 

 

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
[1]http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

 

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this

I refer to your official information request, dated 7 December 2021, for

the year as required.  Creative New Zealand declines to provide this
information back to when any recurrently funded organisations first
received funding as the information cannot be made available without
substantial collation or research (section 18 (f)).

Dear Pip O'Flaherty,

Can I please just narrow down the scope to Cath Cardiff, as they're a person the sector often identifies as having conflicts of interests that aren't transparent. Conflicts of interest beginning from 1997.

Thanks,

Nic Lane
