Subject: Official Information request - Cost to Ministry of Justice for protests outside Courts and Ministry building in Feb-March 2022

Dear Ministry of Justice,

I would like any documents that outline the various costs to the Ministry of Justice that resulted from the physical occupation by protestors of the streets around Parliament in February and March 2022.

These might include (but not be limited to) contracting additional security staff, temporary relocation of Ministry employees from the Aitken Street building, costs associated with enabling the judges from the Supreme Court, the High Court in Wellington, and the Court of Appeal to work remotely, cleaning of the exterior of the three courts, repair of any damage to the courts and the Ministry building, and counselling and support for Ministry employees and contractors after the protest was over. Could you provide the times and dates when the various courts were closed, and any internal and external documents regarding the decision to do so.

Additionally, could you comment on whether any security footage from the various court buildings was either provided live to NZ Police while the protest was still in progress, or recorded and provided to NZ Police or the IPCA at the conclusion of the protest?

Yours faithfully,

Bruce
