Hi Matthew,
Unfortunately you sent your follow-up after we got the site back online, but before we finished processing the email backlog.
As you can see there was a response from the authority which you could not have seen at the time.
Please accept our apologies for this situation. You may want to send another followup explaining this; feel free to point the finger at FYI.org.nz as you could not have known the situation.
Oliver
