Does NAB provide assessments on the risks of domestic terrorism in New Zealand?

Alex Harris made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet

The request was partially successful.

From: Alex Harris

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

The National Assessments Bureau (NAB) is listed as part of DPMC. I would like to request the following information under the OIA:

* Does the National Assessments Bureau provide assessments on the risks of domestic terrorism in New Zealand? If so, I would like the date and title of the last five such assessments, and a copy of the most recent one.

In anticipation of the interests protected by sections 6(a) and 6(c) of the OIA, I am happy for information which would damage the effectiveness of security or intelligence operations or prejudice the investigation or prosecution of offences (insofar as such operational information is present in a risk assessment) to be redacted.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris

Could you please advise how this OIA request was sent to DPMC and to which email address as we have no record of having received your original request.

Hi Trish,

 

We have investigated this and have no record of the message entering our
"Edge Network". This is our perimeter where we can search for anything
coming in and out before any type of SPAM filtering occurs. The messages
today, including your response were found in our search.

 

We conducted the search in two ways, we first looked for anything from
[1]*@requests.fyi.org.nz to any agency. We then conducted a search on
anything sent to [2][DPMC request email]

 

The purported email sent on the 17th was not found in DPMC systems.

 

Thanks,

Information Services | CASS |
