Thank you for your email of 28 March 2023 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment
requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the fol owing:
I would like to make an OIA request for any document you may have on Kel ie-Jay Keen aka Posie
Parker.
Our response
Please find information within scope of your request attached as Appendix One.
Please note that some information has been withheld under the fol owing grounds of the Act:
• Section 6(a), as making available of that information would be likely to prejudice the security
or defence of New Zealand or the international relations of the Government of New Zealand
• Section 6(c), as making available of that information would be likely to prejudice the
maintenance of the law, including the prevention, investigation, and detection of offences,
and the right to a fair trial
• Section 9(2)(a), to protect the privacy of natural persons
• Section 9(2)(f)(iv), to maintain the constitutional conventions for the time being which
protect the confidentiality of advice tendered by Ministers of the Crown and officials
• Section 9(2)(g)(i), to maintain the effective conduct of public affairs through the free and
frank expression of opinions by or between or to Ministers of the Crown or members of an
organisation
• Section 9(2)(g)(ii), to maintain the effective conduct of public affairs through the protection
of such Ministers, members of organisations, officers and employees from improper
pressure and harassment
• Section 9(2)(h), to maintain legal professional privilege.
Some information has also been marked as out of scope of the request. Where information has been
withheld from a document, the grounds are also noted in the document itself.
The release of court documents has been refused under section 18(c)(i) of the Act, as the making available
of the information requested would be contrary the provisions of a specified enactment, that being the
Senior Courts Act 2016.
In accordance with section 9(1) of the Act, I have considered whether there are any factors that make it
desirable, in the public interest, to release information to which section 9 of the Act applied. I do not
consider that any public interest considerations outweigh the need to withhold this information.
You have the right, under section 28(3) of the Act, to ask the Ombudsman to review any decisions made
under this request.
