Tēnā koe Adam,

Thank you for your clarification regarding your OIA request to the Department of Internal Affairs (included with this email). You have advised that you would like to amend your request and now only require response from current Ministers and Associate Ministers, in respect of the period that they have been in government. Your request is therefore adjusted to the below:

1. Please provide all correspondence between government ministers and Cameron Slater (formerly of Whale Oil blog and subject of the "Dirty Politics book).
2. Pease provide any information with regards to any meetings between Mr Slater and any government ministers.

We are therefore transferring your request to all incumbent Ministers of the Crown for response, in accordance with section 14(b) of the Official Information Act 1982.

You can expect to hear from the receiving Ministers shortly in regard to your request. If you would like to contact them directly, you are able to email them at the following addresses:

Dear OIA,

Good Afternoon Michelle

I understand your point about it being a very broad request. I think it will help if we keep it to the current government which makes it a VERY narrow timeframe. It should not be hard for each minister and associate minister to provide the information at least. I would appreciate it if you could please provide all correspondence from these sources.

Ministers

Yours sincerely,

adam
