Kia ora,

 

The Department of Internal Affairs (Department) is currently working on
your three Official Information Act (OIA) requests which you submitted.

 

We are processing your requests and wish to write to you about your
eligibility to make a request under the OIA. Under section 12 of the OIA,
to be eligible to request information under the OIA, you must be:

 

o a New Zealand citizen or permanent resident; or
o a person in New Zealand.

 

In doing so, this will help us to work through what can be provided under
the OIA.

 

In that context, we would appreciate if you could confirm your eligibility
under the OIA by providing a copy of a New Zealand identity document (such
as a passport or driver’s licence) or by providing evidence that you are a
person in New Zealand. To safeguard your privacy, this evidence should be
provided to the Department at [1][email address]

 

We would be grateful if you could confirm your eligibility under the OIA
by Thursday 17 November 2022.

Dear P Taylor,

 

Please find attached our OIA response dated 19 December 2022 including the
correct copy of the documents for release as set out in Appendix A. As
promised in our response letter, we also attach a copy of the summaries of
Documents 5, 7 and 9 which were referred to in our response letter.

 

Due to a Departmental error made in Appendix A (ie. extra documents were
inadvertently included), we requested for FYI to remove the copy of our
OIA response sent to you on 9 January 2023. We have now fixed this error
with the correct version of Appendix A attached. We do apologise for any
inconvenience.
