Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

 

I request under the Official Information Act the following information.

 

What safeguards are in place to protect political parties and politicians
from foreign undue influence.

 

Does the Prime Minister receive security briefing and information on
donations or transactions from foreign countries to politicians and public
figures.

 

What safe gaurds are in place to ensure political parties and politicians
across the political spectrum are not receiving funding or benefit from
foreign governments or entities or individuals with close ties foreign
governments. That create undue influence on those individuals.

 

Has the Prime Minister received any briefing on donations or transactions
made from individuals close to the Chinese Communist Party to the Rt Hon
John Key. Has his property sales and business dealings been evaluated to
ensure he is not beholden to foreign interests.

 

What risk management framework is in place to ensure public figures that
influence the public have not been compromised.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Adam
