    Tçnâ koe,
On behalf of Hon Nanaia Mahuta, thank you for your email.  Please accept
 this as acknowledgement that your email has been received by my office.
While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, and all
 messages are carefully read and considered, it is not always possible to
 personally reply to all emails.  As such, the following guidelines apply:
·        Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
 possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due course 
·        All media queries will be responded to by a staff member 
·        Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
 with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
 include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency 
·         If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
 responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
 Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
 correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
 further response to you
 Thank you for the taking the time to write.
 Nga mihi,
