Dear Scott

 

On 3 June 2022, you contacted the Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment (MBIE) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
OIA), the following information:

 

This is a request for CERT NZ.

 

I would like to make a request for copies of the following:

 

ONE: The report titled “False information reporting data from 15 Sep to 5
December 2021”

 

This report is referred to on p.31 of this document published on the Unite
against COVID-19 website (footnote 1):

 

[1]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

 

TWO: All other reports in the same “false information reporting data”
series, dated since the beginning of this year.  This can be confined to
reports that cover a period of one month or more.

 

 

This email is to notify you that MBIE has transferred your request in full
to the Ministry of Health (MOH), as the information to which your request
relates is not held by MBIE, but is held by MOH. In these circumstances,
we are required by section 14 of the OIA to transfer your request.

 

Please note that according to sections 14 and 15(1) of the Official

You will hear further from MOH regarding your request.

 

Kind regards,

Kia ora Scott 

 

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act) to the Ministry of Health (the Ministry) on 21 June 2022 for: 

 

I would like to make a request for copies of the following:
ONE: The report titled “False information reporting data from 15 Sep to 5
December 2021”
This report is referred to on p.31 of this document published on the Unite
against COVID-19 website (footnote 1):
[1]https://scanmail.trustwave.com/?c=15517&...
TWO: All other reports in the same “false information reporting data”
series, dated since the beginning of this year. This can be confined to
reports that cover a period of one month or more. 

 

The Ministry is contacting you in accordance with section 18B of the Act
to clarify your request. The data the Ministry provided to the Department
of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) came from CERT NZ in the form of
raw data, rather than in reports. Can you please clarify if you are
searching for raw data? 

 

Please respond by 27 June 2022 so that we can consider your clarification
in our response to your request.

We look forward to receiving your response.

Thank you for your Official Information Act request. This is
an automatic reply to let you know we received it.

than 20 working days. If you'd like to calculate the timeframe, you can
use the Ombudsman's online calculator

Due to the COVID-19 global pandemic response, the Ministry is experiencing
significantly higher volumes of queries and requests for information. This
means we may take some time in responding to your request. The Ministry
regularly updates information about the COVID-19 situation and publishes
OIA responses considered to be of public interest:

Please also refer to the Unite Against Covid-19 website for copies of
papers, minutes, and key advice for the decisions the Government has made
