On behalf of Hon Tim Groser, thank you for your email.  Your
correspondence has been noted and will be recorded.

 

All correspondence, including email,  is routed through our mail tracking
process.  Although e-mail increases the speed of delivery, the
“behind-the-scenes” efforts of the Minister’s staff in responding to
mail cannot always provide the kind of speedy response users of email may
anticipate.

 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, if it is
obvious that you are writing only to express a personal view your opinion
will be noted but a response beyond this acknowledgement may not be sent.

 

Thank you again.

Subject: Official Information Act request - TPPA draft text.

Dear Minister of Trade,

I am writing to make a request under the Official Information Act, for:

1) The first draft text of the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement.
2) Amendments made to the first draft (and when these amendments were made) since negotiations begun up to the present date.

I believe this information is not eligible for being withheld under Section 6 (e VI) of the Act as releasing this information does not pose a risk to "to damage seriously the economy of New Zealand", furthermore the TPPA goes beyond being just an overseas trade agreement.

Yours faithfully,

Morgan Cummins-Hussey
