Subject: Official Information request - Was Defence equipment used on 2nd March at the "2022 Wellington protest"?

Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

This Official Information request is with regard to the "2022 Wellington protest" reported in Wikipedia here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2022_Welli... - where it is stated that "The Defence Force was in discussions with the Police over the type of assistance it could provide in removing vehicles." My request is: Did the Defence Force also provide resources or equipment that might have assisted the NZ Police when "The protest was forcibly ended by police on 2 March 2022"?

If so, please provide full details of the type, and quantity, of all such resources/equipment supplied.

Yours faithfully,

Mr French

Good afternoon Peter French,

The New Zealand Defence Force did not provide any resources or equipment to the New Zealand Police to remove illegally parked vehicles or to end the protest. Your request is therefore declined in accordance with section 18(e) of the OIA, as the information you have requested does not exist.

You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to ask an Ombudsman to review this response to your request. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
