The due date of this request changed when the Queen Elizabeth II Memorial Day Act 2022 received royal assent on 21 September, because after that Monday 26 September 2022 was no longer considered a working day under the OIA.
Because of this, the legal due date for this request is Monday 17 October, though of course NZ Police still have an obligation to respond as soon as reasonably practicable.
It's quite an oddity, thankfully not something that changes very often.
