Tçnâ koe John,

Thank you for your OIA request to the Department of Internal Affairs.

The Department will provide its response to your request as soon as
practicable and within twenty working days.  The 20th working day is 5
December 2023.

Please note that in cases where the Department’s response provides
information that is identified to be of general public interest, the
response may also be published on the Department of Internal Affairs
website.  If the Department publishes its response to your OIA request,
all personal information, including your name and contact details, will be
removed.

Kia ora John,

 

We refer to your Official Information Act 1982 request for: “the full
meeting minutes of Racing Integrity Board from 1st Jan 2021 to 1st Nov
2023. Also, please supply the conflict of interest register for each
member.”

 

Investigations have established that Te Tari Taiwhenua does not hold the
information you are requesting as they are held by the Racing Integrity
Board – which is not subject to the Act. Because of this, our intention is
to refuse your request under section 18(e) of the Act.

 

However, Te Tari Taiwhenua does hold conflict of interest declarations
made as a part of the appointments process. Before refusing your request,
we would like to invite you to consider reframing your request in a manner
that would remove the reason for it being refused under section 18(e) of
the Act. This is consistent with our obligations under sections 13 and 18B
of the Act.

 

If you do wish to reframe your request, we would appreciate it if you
would let us know by replying to this email on or before 14 November 2023.

 

 

Ngâ mihi
