Under section 16 of the OIA, our preference is to receive the information in a text searchable
format (not image-only PDF), as attachments to an email sent to the address from which the
Commission received this request.
Under section 19(a)(i ) of the OIA, if the Commission decides to withhold any information,
please provide us with the grounds in support of the withholding reason cited in the decision,
along with details of the public interest factors favouring disclosure that were considered by
the Commission when making its decision on the request.”
The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no
later than 20 working days after the day that we received your request. Unfortunately, it wil not
be possible to meet that time limit and we are, therefore, writing to notify you of an extension of
the time to make our decision, to
22 February 2023. We wil keep you updated on the progress of our response to your request.
This extension is necessary because consultations needed to make a decision on your request
are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

to contact Ministerial Services a
t [email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
