Kia ora Chuck,
Thank you for your email. Work regarding restrictions and mandates is
ongoing. 
As you have been advised on several occasions, there is no requirement for
agencies to respond to hypothetical questions couched as a request for
information. These questions are therefore refused under section 18(g) of
the Act on the grounds that the information sought is not held by the
Ministry.
Under section 28(3) of the Act, you have the right to ask the Ombudsman to
review any decisions made under this request. The Ombudsman may be
contacted by email at: [1][email address] or by calling 0800
802 602 

Ngā mihi
