I have decided to release the documents listed above, subject to information being
withheld under one or more of the following sections of the Of icial Information Act, as
applicable:
•
Direct dial phone numbers of officials have been redacted under section 9(2)(k) in
order to reduce the possibility of staff being exposed to phishing and other
scams. This is because information released under the OIA may end up in the
public domain, for example, on websites including Treasury’s website.
In making my decision, I have considered the public interest considerations in section
9(1) of the Official Information Act.
Please note that this letter (with your personal details removed) and enclosed
documents may be published on the Treasury website.
This reply addresses the information you requested. You have the right to ask the
Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision.
Yours sincerely
Simon Duncan
Manager, Budget Management
