Thank you for contacting the office of Hon David Parker, Attorney General,
Minister for the Environment, Minister of Transport and Associate Minister
of Finance.

Please note that as Minister Parker receives large amounts of
correspondence, it is not always possible to personally reply to all
emails.

The following guidelines apply:

* Portfolio related correspondence will be considered and responded to
where appropriate.
* If your email is an invitation or request to meet with the Minister,
your request will be processed and a staff member will be in contact
in due course. As the Minister receives a high volume of invitations,
it is not always possible to respond immediately.
* 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
a transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
* If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, your correspondence may be transferred to another
office.
* If your email expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and there may
be no further response.

Regards

Kia ora John Luke,

 

I refer to your official information request dated 19 October 2023 which
was transferred to the Minister of Climate Change.

 

You requested copies of all documents/memos the Minister received with
regards to “the ETS and the carbon credit.” However, the media article you
referenced in your request relates more to CIPA (climate implications of
policy assessment) than the Emissions Trading Scheme. Could you please
confirm whether your request is for advice the Minister received on
International Carbon Markets? If so, could you please provide a timeframe
of advice you’re requesting (i.e. all documents/memos the Minister
received about International Carbon Markets between 1 June 2023 and 19
October 2023).

 

Please note that, depending on when the incoming Government is formed, it
is possible that your request may be dissolved before it can be answered.
If this were to happen, you may wish to resubmit your request to the
Ministry for the Environment.

 

If you would like to speak with the Ministry directly about International
Carbon Markets, please contact [1][email address].

Kia ora John Luke,

Thank you for your clarification email.

This email is to advise that we will need to extend the time limit for responding to you by 20 working days, to 18 December 2023. This is because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time frame (section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA refers).

However, if this process is completed before 18 December 2023, the response will be sent to you as soon as possible.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision by contacting www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
