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.

 

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.

 

Regards

Dear Mr Murphy

 

As mentioned in our response to you dated 12 June 2024, we elected not
provide you with the full survey results in order to protect the privacy
of all of the respondents to the survey.

The advice of the Ombudsman regarding a person’s privacy is clear:

 

Section 9(2)(a) of the Official Information Act 1982 applies when
withholding is necessary to protect the privacy of natural persons,
including deceased natural persons.

 

For withholding to be ‘necessary’, there must be a reason to believe
release would affect the privacy of the individual(s).

 

There is no requirement for the effect to be significant, unreasonable or
unwarranted, but it should be more than negligible.

 

The release of official information may affect the privacy of the
individual(s) where it would:

·         reveal their personal information; or

·         in some way intrude on their privacy—for example, by affecting
their dignity or their mental or emotional wellbeing, by damaging their
reputation, or by exposing them to unwanted contact or attention.

 

You may make a complaint regarding our use of s9(2)(a) with the Ombudsman.

 

Kind regards

Kāinga Ora.
