Thank you for contacting the Hon Casey Costello, Minister for Seniors,
Minister of Customs, Associate Minister of Police, Associate Minister of
Health and Associate Minister of Immigration.  The Minister considers all
correspondence important and appreciates you taking the time to write. 

 

The office is currently closed for the holiday season. We will reopen on
10^th January. We appreciate your patience while we work through all
emails upon our return.

 

Please note that as Minister Costello receives a large amount of
correspondence it is not always possible to personally reply to all
emails.  This email is an acknowledgement of your correspondence.

The following guidelines apply:

 1. Portfolio related correspondence will be considered and responded to
where appropriate.
 2. 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.  It has been noted that your invitation/request has been
received.
 3. Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.
 4. Requests for official information 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.
 5. 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.
 6. If your correspondence is to the Minister as an MP for Whangaparaoa,
this will be referred to his electorate office.

 

Have a safe and happy holiday period.
