Dear KiwiRail,
I realise that your organisation has been very busy dealing with dangerous and damaging political decisions.
This is just a gentle reminder to please respond to my original OIA request.

Good afternoon Niall, and apologies for the delay.
Please find our response below.
You asked - Could you please let me know if the rebuild of the Napier to
Wairoa line can be paid for through an insurance claim – and while the
quantum of any insurance claim is commercially sensitive, the basis answer
is no.
The attached newsletter, sent to local stakeholders, notes that
consideration from the Government will be required before decisions on the
rebuild are made.
Any further questions, please get in touch.
Kind regards
Dave

Dear Dave Allard,
So is what you are saying is that insurance is available, but the rebuild is based on a political decision made by the government?
Yours sincerely,
Niall Robertson
