Dear Sharon Hornal,
Thanks for your request for clarification. You will note that my current request refers to a previous request and in that regards simply asks for an update.
GWRC's response to my previous request was as to refuse my request because: "No conclusion about the prosecution under the RMA has yet been reached as the investigation is ongoing and a record of the decision is not made until the investigation is completed."
I thought it was obvious what I wanted with this "update request" but there you go.
Here is my update request:
1. Has GWRC concluded its investigation.
2. If it hasn’t concluded its investigation please provide me with the reasons and the expected time frame.
3. If GWRC has concluded its investigation what has the outcome of that.
4. If GWRC has concluded its investigation will it be proceeding with prosecution
5. If GWRC has concluded its investigation and is not proceeding with prosecution, the reasons why
6. If GWRC has concluded its investigation and is not proceeding with prosecution, a copy of all information that GWRC has relied upon in coming to this conclusion.
7. If GWRC has concluded its investigation and is proceeding with prosecution, information so I can understand the current status of those proceedings.
Yours sincerely,
Brian Warburton
