Mr O'Connor,

You have just a reply to by email (18 February 2022).

I ask that this reply is posted to this website so it is publicly available.

You assert that the documents supplied do not breach the Privacy Act 2020. This is patently untrue. You also assert that all the information supplied was in scope. This is also clearly not true.

Your actions set a serious precedent. You are threatening anybody who uses fyi.org.nz with the publication of private information presumably with the intent to discourage applications for information.

I expect that documents within scope of the original request are made publicly available. I also expect that you do not deliberately and wantonly breach the Privacy Act 2020 when making the information available.
