Re: Auckland Council and NZ Initiative
Thank you for your email dated 26 September 2022, in which you requested information about
Auckland Council and NZ Initiative Think Tank. The specific details of your request and our
response are below.
“Please provide me with all correspondence with or regarding the NZ Initiative for the
last 12 months. Please also provide all payments to, funding and in kind support
provided to the NZ Initiative for each of the last five financial years, indicating the
purpose of the funding. Finally, please provide me with any reports or other material
describing or evaluating the benefits that Auckland Council receives for this
investment.”
Auckland Council does not have a vendor called “NZ Initiative” or New Zealand Initiative”. We
can therefore confirm that Auckland Council holds no correspondence with “The New Zealand
Initiative” and no monies have been paid to “The New Zealand Initiative”.
Decisions relating to the information that is being released to you were made by
John Bishop
– Group Treasurer.
You have the right to complain to the Ombudsman if you believe we have not responded
appropriately to your request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
If you have any further queries, please contact me on 09 301 0101 quoting official information
request number 8140010837.
