Dear Carl Berryman
Official Information Act request (OIA 2324-0641)
Thank you for your request for information dated 18 February 2024 made under the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act) to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment (MBIE) You
requested the following information:
Can you please provide me with details of all meetings between Fonterra Co-operative Group
Limited and Government Ministers during the Covid-19 Pandemic. This is to include meetings in
person or zoom or by any other method. The meeting details are to include dates and times,
minutes of meetings and any other documentation recorded from these meetings.
Names of all meeting participants are sought including Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited
employee Daniel Norris and any other Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited employee.
On 22 February 2024 you were advised that your request had been transferred to the Department of
Internal Affairs (the Department) for response because the Department is responsible for information
relating to former Ministers of the Crown.
The Department contacted you on 23 February 2024 to seek clarification on your request as in its
original format it would likely be refused under section 18(f) of the Act (because the information
requested cannot be made available without substantial collation or research). On 7 March 2024 you
advised that your amended request was:
Can you please provide me with details of all meetings between Fonterra Co-operative Group
Limited and the Minister of Health, and the Minister of Covid Response between March 2021 to
September 2021. This is to include meetings in person or zoom or by any other method. The
meeting details are to include dates and times, minutes of meetings and any other
documentation recorded from these meetings.
Names of all meeting participants are sought including Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited CEO
Miles Hurrell and employee Daniel Norris and any other Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited
employee.
Response to your request
Ministerial diaries are proactively released on the Beehive website1. You can select a government term
and filter the material you are interested in by specific content, date, and Minister. Ministerial diaries
show scheduled meetings held by the Minister relating to ministerial business, which have been
recorded in the Minister's diary. It does not include meetings that relate to the Minister's personal,
party political, or parliamentary/constituency roles.
To assist you, we have compiled the diaries of Rt Hon Chris Hipkins and Hon Andrew Little for your
requested time period of March 2021 to September 2021. See
Appendix A for reference.
There are no meetings listed in either Rt Hon Chris Hipkins or Hon Andrew Little's Ministerial diaries
with the Fonterra Co-operative Group Limited, Miles Hurrell, Daniel Norris, or any other identified
Fonterra employee. Therefore, there are no minutes or other documentation recorded that can be
provided.
The Department is refusing your request under section 18(e) of the Act, that the document alleged to
contain the information requested does not exist or, despite reasonable efforts to locate it, cannot be
found.
We may publish this OIA response on www.dia .. govt.nz (with your personal details having been
removed). Publishing responses to OIA requests increases the availability of information to the public
and is consistent with the purpose of the Act to enable effective participation in the making and
administration of laws and policies, and to promote the accountability of Ministers and officials.
If you have any concerns with the information in this response, you have a right to request an
investigation and review by the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the Act. Information on how to do
this is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely

DISCLAIMER: This table shows scheduled meetings held by the Minister relating to ministerial business, which have been recorded in the Minister's diary. It
does not include meetings that relate to the Minister's personal, party political, or parliamentary/constituency roles (such as time spent in the House of
Representatives or at one its select committees, as these are already matters of public record). Travel logistics are not included. It may include meetings
which were in the diary but did not eventuate or were placeholders, and may not include unscheduled meetings. Where the portfolio to which a meeting
relates is indicated, please note that it is possible material in another portfolio area could also have been covered during the meeting. Please also note
attendees to a meeting change frequently so this table may not contain an accurate record of all attendees. Matters that may not be included in this
proactive release include information that might breach the privacy of a person, relate to decisions still under active consideration by the Minister, or
matters of national security, consistent with the grounds under which matters might be withheld from release under the Official Information Act 1982.

DISCLAIMER: This table shows scheduled meetings held by the Minister relating to ministerial business, which have been recorded in the Minister's diary. It
does not include meetings that relate to the Minister's personal, party political, or parliamentary/constituency roles (such as time spent in the House of
Representatives or at one its select committees, as these are already matters of public record). Travel logistics are not included. It may include meetings
which were in the diary but did not eventuate or were placeholders, and may not include unscheduled meetings. Where the portfolio to which a meeting
relates is indicated, please note that it is possible material in another portfolio area could also have been covered during the meeting. Please also note
attendees to a meeting change frequently so this table may not contain an accurate record of all attendees. Matters that may not be included in this
proactive release include information that might breach the privacy of a person, relate to decisions still under active consideration by the Minister, or
matters of national security, consistent with the grounds under which matters might be withheld from release under the Official Information Act 1982.

DISCLAIMER: This table shows scheduled meetings held by the Minister relating to ministerial business, which have been recorded in the Minister's diary. It
does not include meetings that relate to the Minister's personal, party political, or parliamentary/constituency roles (such as time spent in the House of
Representatives or at one its select committees, as these are already matters of public record). Travel logistics are not included. It may include meetings
which were in the diary but did not eventuate or were placeholders, and may not include unscheduled meetings. Where the portfolio to which a meeting
relates is indicated, please note that it is possible material in another portfolio area could also have been covered during the meeting. Please also note
attendees to a meeting change frequently so this table may not contain an accurate record of all attendees. Matters that may not be included in this
proactive release include information that might breach the privacy of a person, relate to decisions still under active consideration by the Minister, or
matters of national security, consistent with the grounds under which matters might be withheld from release under the Official Information Act 1982.

DISCLAIMER: This table shows scheduled meetings held by the Minister relating to ministerial business, which have been recorded in the Minister's diary. It
does not include meetings that relate to the Minister's personal, party political, or parliamentary/constituency roles (such as time spent in the House of
Representatives or at one its select committees, as these are already matters of public record). Travel logistics are not included. It may include meetings
which were in the diary but did not eventuate or were placeholders, and may not include unscheduled meetings. Where the portfolio to which a meeting
relates is indicated, please note that it is possible material in another portfolio area could also have been covered during the meeting. Please also note
attendees to a meeting change frequently so this table may not contain an accurate record of all attendees. Matters that may not be included in this
proactive release include information that might breach the privacy of a person, relate to decisions still under active consideration by the Minister, or
matters of national security, consistent with the grounds under which matters might be withheld from release under the Official Information Act 1982.

DISCLAIMER: This table shows scheduled meetings held by the Minister relating to ministerial business, which have been recorded in the Minister's diary. It
does not include meetings that relate to the Minister's personal, party political, or parliamentary/constituency roles (such as time spent in the House of
Representatives or at one its select committees, as these are already matters of public record). Travel logistics are not included. It may include meetings
which were in the diary but did not eventuate or were placeholders, and may not include unscheduled meetings. Where the portfolio to which a meeting
relates is indicated, please note that it is possible material in another portfolio area could also have been covered during the meeting. Please also note
attendees to a meeting change frequently so this table may not contain an accurate record of all attendees. Matters that may not be included in this
proactive release include information that might breach the privacy of a person, relate to decisions still under active consideration by the Minister, or
matters of national security, consistent with the grounds under which matters might be withheld from release under the Official Information Act 1982.

DISCLAIMER: This table shows scheduled meetings held by the Minister relating to ministerial business, which have been recorded in the Minister's diary. It does not
include meetings that relate to the Minister's personal, party political, or parliamentary/constituency roles (such as time spent in the House of Representatives or at one its
select committees, as these are already matters of public record). Travel logistics are not included. It may include meetings which were in the diary but did not eventuate or
were placeholders, and may not include unscheduled meetings. Where the portfolio to which a meeting relates is indicated, please note that it is possible material in
another portfolio area could also have been covered during the meeting. Please also note attendees to a meeting change frequently so this table may not contain an
accurate record of all attendees. Matters that may not be included in this proactive release include information that might breach the privacy of a person, relate to
decisions still under active consideration by the Minister, or matters of national security, consistent with the grounds under which matters might be withheld from release
under the Official Information Act 1982.
