Kia Ora Mr Laing,
Further to your request under the Official Information Act dated 05

notice, in accordance with section 15A (1) (a) of the OIA, that NZ Post
requires an extension of time to be able to provide the information
requested. The reason for the extension is that due to the scope of the
request and the operational resources required to source and collate this
information, meeting the original time limit of 06 March 2023.
We are extending the period in which to provide you information to 14
March 2023 but will endeavour to provide you with the information earlier

You have the right under section 28(3) of the OIA to make a complaint to
the Ombudsman about this extension.

Kia ora Mr Laing

 

Apologies for the delay in responding to your request, some staff absences
contributed to the delay and I apologise that notification of our
requirement for an extension was also not sent out in time. This was an
oversight at our end.

 

Please find attached a spreadsheet outlining the payments made by NZ Post
to the UPU and APPU from 2018 – 2022. We have not provided data regarding
payments to the IPC as this a voluntary designated operator commercial
body in which NZ Post has chosen to participate on commercial terms and
the information is commercially sensitive, and therefore withheld under
section 9(2)(b)(ii) of the Official Information Act. You have the right
under section 28(3) of the OIA to complaint to the Ombudsman over our
decision to withhold this information.

Dear Oia Officer,

 

I am writing to follow up on my Official Information Act (OIA) request
dated 10/02/2023, which I have not received a response for yet. As per the
OIA, government organisations are required to respond to requests for
information within 20 working days. However, it has now been 21 working
days since I submitted my request and I am yet to receive a response from
your organisation.

 

I would like to remind you that this delay is unacceptable and constitutes
a breach of the OIA. I would appreciate an explanation for the delay and
an estimated timeline for when I can expect to receive the information I
requested.

 

Please be aware that I reserve the right to make a complaint to the Office
of the Ombudsman if I do not receive a response within a reasonable
timeframe.

 

I look forward to hearing from you soon and receiving the information I
requested.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

Mr Laing
