Dear Sarah,

 

Thanks for your reply to my request under the Official Information Act
stating that you have decided to transfer it to MBIE. This is not adequate
as it does not answer my key question about communications with DPMC.

 

Please provide any communications over the last 3 months between Ella

and/or the Prime Minister or the Prime Ministers offices relating to
Covid-19, MIQ, isolation or any other matters related to Lorde's ability
