Email from Linda Heerink dated 16 June 2023
Barry Murphy made this Official Information request to Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities
The request was refused by Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities.
From: Barry Murphy
Dear Kāinga Ora–Homes and Communities,
In the email to Renee on the 16th June 2023, a red line was redacted and related to the statement around 44 homes. We have been enquiring about the remaining 2 lots as there are actually 46 lots being developed for residential.
Please provide the un redacted copy of the statement as it is clearly hiding the point of the additional 2 lots.
Please provide all information and documents and emails that relate to the 45th and 46th lots.
Yours faithfully,
Barry Murphy

These were acknowledged in our letter to you of 19 October 2023 (sent to
your personal email), which acknowledged these requests and several
others. We advised you that we are treating these additional requests as
one request, and notified you of an extension of time to make our
decision, to 28 March 2024. If we can respond sooner, we will do so.
We advised you that in accordance with section 15A(1)(a) of the Act, this
extension is necessary because your request necessitates a search through
a large quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with our operations. You have the right to seek an
investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information
about how to make a complaint is available at
[2]www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Dear Kainga Ora Correspondence,
I do not accept the aggregating of requests into a single OIA and the extension of time until march 2024. Many of these questions the information is readily available and should be responded to in a timely manner.
Thus I request each OIA is dealt with on an individual basis and responded to individually to their respective threads.
As has been seen in previous followups where Kainga Ora has responded on an aggregated basis, questions have gone unanswered and missed.
Yours sincerely,
Barry Murphy

Dear Kainga Ora Correspondence,
I once again remind you that this OIA was due by November 13th; your email stating that you were aggregating information requests with a response date of march 2024 was rejected & each OIA should be handled as posed and responded to the correct address it was asked from.
Yours sincerely,
Barry Murphy
