Tēnā koe,

 

Thank you for contacting the office of Hon Peeni Henare - MP for Tāmaki
Makaurau, Minister for ACC, Minister of Tourism,  Minister for Whānau Ora,
Associate Minister for the Environment, Associate Minister of Health
(Māori Health).

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not possible to provide
a personal response to every email received.

Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as possible and
a staff member will be in contact with you in due course.

Where the Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that you
have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.  If your email falls outside of these responsibilities, it
may be transferred to another office for consideration.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

Dear Harris,

 

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act
request dated 2 March, 2023. You have requested the following information:

 

“…copies of any advice you hold relating to the application of the Code of
Conduct for Crown Entity Members

([1]https://www.publicservice.govt.nz/guidan...)
to the writings of the current Chair of the ACC.

 

I also seek any information held relating to comments by the ACC Chair
such as:

 

"The previous National government had to deal with an unanticipated event
of their own in the form of the 2008 Global Financial Crisis. They got the
books back in balance but at the cost of ignoring almost everything else.
"

And "Labour is the battle-hardened team that can get the job done." 
[2]https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politic...

 

"In other words, if it is change voters want, they need look no further
than the current Government."
[3]https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/politic...

 

"This is where Trump, Johnson, Morrison, and other assorted clowns come
into play" [referring to conservative leaders of the USA, UK and
Australia]
[4]https://www.stuff.co.nz/opinion/30064184...

 

I also seek any information you might hold on whether the preponderance of
political comments by a Crown Entity board member may create an impression
of political partisanship even if any one comment is excusable."

 

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and in
any event no later than 30 March, 2023, being 20 working days after the
day your request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request
by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

 

Kind regards,

 

Office of Hon Peeni Henare

Minister for ACC | Minister of Tourism | Minister for Whânau Ora |
Associate Minister for the Environment | Associate Minister of Health
