Dear Royden Raka,

Thank you for processing my request. However, I did not get a satisfactory answer in regards to the reasoning behind the request.

It is in the publics interest to know if the ministry is attempting to subvert the OIA by putting up road blocks such as requesting evidence of eligibility without good cause.

For that reason I am now requesting all government correspondence regarding my request for information, the decision to challenge my eligibility, as well as the specific reason behind it.

Yours sincerely,

Kia ora Mark,

I have reached out with our IT team and unfortunately this is an issue which we cannot resolve. This maybe a function within the FYI.org.nz site which removes the email addresses from the body.

As per below, to safeguard your privacy you can provide evidence of your eligibility directly to this email address.

We would be grateful if you could confirm your eligibility under the OIA by Wednesday 21 December 2022. Please note, if you do not provide evidence of eligibility, we will be unable to respond to your OIA request.

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your email.

If you can please send evidence of your eligibility to 'Royden[dot]Raka@dia[dot]govt[dot]nz' noting the references to '[dot]' will need to be replaced with '.' when you provide your evidence of your eligibility under the OIA. Unfortunately due to the rules in place for the FYI site regarding email addresses, this is the only way to work around this. Therefore, it will be great if you can also provide an 'alternative' or 'personal' email address so we can also provide you with contacts to other agencies which you can forward your OIA request to.

It would be great to receive this information as soon possible so we can progress your request.

Ngâ mihi

Dear Mark

 

Please find attached our response to your OIA request dated 1 December
2022.

 

In addition, we are currently working on your request under the Privacy
Act in which you requested all government correspondence regarding your
original request for information dated 10 November 2022 about access to
Facebook’s take down portal, the decision to challenge your eligibility,
as well as the specific reason behind it. We would appreciate being able
to send to you our Privacy Act response via an email address which is not
an FYI address. Do you have an alternative email address that is
available?

 

Kind regards

Dear Mark

 

The Department is currently reviewing the way it handled your request for
information dated 1 December 2022 as outlined below:

 

o Please confirm if DIA had/has access to Facebook’s takedown portal;

 

•     Please provide the guidelines for flagging/censoring/down ranking
content posted by New Zealanders, people residing in New Zealand, and
media with content relating to New Zealand and New Zealanders; and

 

•     Please provide the number of Facebook posts DIA has accessed through
the portal, or at least an indication of the scope of interference.

 

We wanted to reach out to you to see if you would be amenable to providing
evidence to Leanne Stewart of the Office of the Ombudsman showing that you
are a New Zealand citizen, or a permanent resident of New Zealand, or a
person who is in New Zealand. In that context, this would involve
providing a copy of a New Zealand identity document (such as a passport or
driver’s licence) or providing evidence that you are a person in New
Zealand (such as a utility bill that shows your current name). If you were
amenable to do so, the Ombudsman could confirm whether you are eligible to
make a request under the Official Information Act 1982. If you are indeed
eligible, we would then be able to reply to your request.

 

We look forward to hearing from you.

 

Kind regards
