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.

Please release any and all documents pertaining to the negotiations for and containing the text of, the TPPA. or TPP whichever acronym is suitable for the Trans Pacific Partnership negotiations.This international agreement has the potential to curb New Zealanders' internet freedom and intellectual property rights as well as much more, and should not be negotiated by any Ministers of the Crown without the text being available for the citizens of this democracy to scrutinize.
