Adrian made this Official Information request to New Zealand Defence Force

Response to this request is long overdue. By law New Zealand Defence Force should have responded by now (details and exceptions). The requester can complain to the Ombudsman.

From: Adrian

Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

It is my understanding that NZDF, alongside many other parts of our public service, are currently tasked with finding operational savings, reducing staffing levels, making budget cuts or otherwise reducing spending.

Please provide details of any requests of this nature, and any planning or preparation undertaken by the NZDF relating to this.

Yours faithfully,
AT

Dear Ministerial Services,

I believe that is incorrect. The ombudsman has confirmed that the section relied on to refuse this request does not apply to internal decision making within the agency - which this clearly is (as much as it may be driven by the budget process).

Yours sincerely,

Adrian
