Tçnâ koe,

 

Thank you for contacting the office of Hon Paul Goldsmith, Minister for
Arts Culture and Heritage, Minister of Justice, Minister for State Owned
Enterprises and Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations.

 

The Minister considers all correspondence important and appreciates you
taking the time to write.  Please note that as Minister Goldsmith receives
a large amount 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 message is for Minister Goldsmith's advice, or if you have
copied your email to another Minister and/or Member of Parliament with
more appropriate portfolio responsibilities, then this will be noted

 

• Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed as
soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
course.  Please note this email is an acknowledgment that your
invitation/request has been received.

 

• If you have made a request for official information then this will
be managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information
Act 1982, which may include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency

 

• If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you

 

• Media queries will be referred to the Minister’s press secretary

 

Again, thank you for writing.

Subject: Official Information request - I-Rex KiwiRail Project

 

I live in Marlborough and the success of my employer and the local economy
depends on KiwiRail Interislander Infrastructure that is decayed and
outdated. I’m interested in the I-Rex project development and changes the
new government has taken in approaching the project.

 

As a result, I ask that you please release any advice you have received
about funding this project, and any communication and consultation taken
with the local MP, Stuart Smith.

 

Please mention any caveats in examining this information.

 

Please let me know if there are any questions I can answer to help with
this request.

 

If any of the information that I have requested is unavailable or would be
difficult to retrieve, but similar information might be readily available,
I would be happy to discuss altering or refining my request.

 

As a New Zealand Permanent Resident, I am eligible to make requests under
the OIA.

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Patrick George O’Rourke
