Dear New Zealand Police,

I am still awaiting for my request to be actioned. The deadline for you to respond was 22nd August 2022.
Can you please respond to my request as a matter of urgency?

Dear Ministerial Services,

Thank you for your reply.
I see you have refused part of my request as you state that over 8,000 emails and other communications have been located, but these would take substantial time to collate. I believe that your refusal to supply this information goes against the best interests of the NZ public, and should be granted under the Official Information Act as per my request.

As stated in my original communication, Brian Tamaki is classified as a public figure, and therefore transparency is paramount.
I urge you to reconsider your answer in relation to my request for copies of all emails and communications as these are imperative as a matter of public interest.

Yours sincerely,

Wayne Browning
