DEPORTATION LIABILITY for TEMPORARY and RESIDENCE VISA HOLDERS for driving offences

Terry Bourke made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Terry Bourke to read a recent response and update the status.

From: Terry Bourke

Dear Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

Kia ora,

I have obtained an MBIE report [Independent Review of Immigration New Zealand’s Residence Deportation Liability Process] authored by Michael Heron QC dated 25/09/19. The report deals with potential streamlining process for immigration deportation liability decisions.

I refer to this link: https://www.mbie.govt.nz/dmsdocument/7011- independent-review-of-immigration-new-zealands-residence-deportation-liability-proces

Within that report (page 38) there is a data table showing three-year’s worth of information of deportation liability outcomes for [residence visa holders] for first time driving charges.

I seek data, encompassing 2016 to present:
1. The number of all [temporary entry process, i.e. temporary visa holder] driving offenders (be they first time driving charges, or second or subsequent charges), that MBIE became aware of;
2. And of that number, how many were served or deemed served with a Deportation Liability Notice (a DLN);
3. And of that number served or deemed served, what was the outcome [DLN cancelled, DLN suspended, or deported];
4. And of that number [suspended] what was the average suspension time.

I also seek from 2016 to present:
5. The number of all [residence visa holder] driving offenders (be they first time driving charges, or second or subsequent charges), that MBIE became aware of;
6. And of that number, how many were served or deemed served with a DLN;
7. And of that number served or deemed served, what was the outcome [DLN cancelled, DLN suspended, or deported];
8. And of that number [suspended] what was the average suspension time.

Yours faithfully,
Terry

Dear INZ OIAs,

Question 1 has not been answered - how many temporary class visa holders did MBIE become aware of....

Question 3 - Table 2 - the first column heading makes no sense - DLN cancelled / no / yes / total.

Question 3 - Table 2 - what does 'Other' encapsulate ?

Question 5 has not been answered - how many residence class visa holders did MBIE become aware of....

Question 7 - Table 3 does not make sense. Example - year 2016, only 6 x DLN's were served, but 134 were suspended. Do you mean pre-DLN service that liability was suspended perhaps ?

Yours sincerely,

Terry Bourke
