Subject: Official Information request - Request for WINZ/MSD effort to
find me paid employment

 

Mr Viv Rickard, Deputy Chief Executive, Service Delivery New Zealand
Ministry of Social Development (MSD) Work and Income New Zealand (WINZ)

 

Mr Rickard

 

As per my instructions on the email sent to you on the 8th Feb 2022 at
09:32 here is my request to have you provide information in regards my ex
gratia case.

 

Two requests for an ex gratia payment to be granted were met with no
action other that what appears to be a form letter from you declining my
request. If you think this is a sufficient effort on your behalf to look
into this matter then I find your effort woefully inadequate. As such I
now need to have the following information supplied within three days, not
the twenty you think you have after having MSD abuse me for nineteen
years.

 

You are to provide proof you investigated my case by showing evidence of
your thorough investigation. At a bare minimum you are to provide proof of
all employers that were contacted over nineteen years in an effort to find
me work. Contacting employers is the obvious first crucial step in finding
paid employment but I put it to WINZ that at no time was my CV ever sent
to anyone. So to prove that WINZ ever did anything in nineteen years to
find me paid employment I need you to supply the names of all companies
whom WINZ sent my CV.

 

I have an incomplete database of 174 MSD/WINZ employees who are connected
with my case which I will add to this page, 20 per day, for every day over
three you take to provide evidence of you investigation or to grant me my
well-overdue ex gratia payment. I'm sure these people will be exhilarated
to have their names appear online in regards this matter. The database is
available as a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet. The file is at:

 

[4]https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1...

 

and the password to access this file is my WINZ Client Number (without
spaces).

 

The Community Law Office advised me that in your role as a Public Servant
you have no innate right to privacy in work matters whilst I, a private
citizen, have total control over what I allow to be published. In this
regard I am "John B" on any publicly viewable website. Any abuse of my
right to privacy will result in another issue that will be dealt with in
the appropriate fashion.

 

Faithfully

John B
