Kia ora Sarah,

I am writing to update you on your 13 February 2023 OIA request to NZTE.

Due to ongoing consultation being required on our response, we are extending the time to make a decision on your request from 13 March to 27 March 2023. The extension is made under section 15A(1)(b), as the consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or you can freephone 0800 802 602.

Kind regards,
Lauren

Dear Lauren,

Just for a couple of points of clarity on the request:
- regarding the number of females departed since the report, please include in that figure women currently serving their notice period, and provide the information as at the most current date possible (March rather than February)
- regarding direct reports to the GM of Investment. Please provide the figures excluding fixed term contract positions where a woman has replaced another woman who is on parental leave (i.e. this should only count as one female direct report, not two).

Yours sincerely,

Sarah M
