Thank you for contacting Hon Shane Jones, Minister for Oceans and
Fisheries, Minister for Regional Development, Minister for Resources,
Associate Minister of Finance and Associate Minister for Energy.
Minister Jones considers all correspondence important and appreciates you
taking the time to write.
Please note that the Minister receives a large amount of correspondence,
and it is not always possible to reply personally to all emails.
The following guidelines apply:
· 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.
· Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.
· Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include
transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
· If your email falls outside 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.
· If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of
Parliament or New Zealand First MP, this may be referred to the New
Zealand First Leader’s office.

proactive release will be consistent with the provisions in the Official
Information Act, including privacy considerations. Under the Privacy Act
