Dear Ministry for Primary Industries,

I request information regarding the individual roles, working groups, researchers, research teams and other groupings of this nature, if any, that are going to be cut from your relevant Ministry or departmental agency owing to the government’s policy of reducing the public service.

Relevant information would include:

The roles that may be considered superfluous enough to warrant redundancy and why
Any bodies, boards, working groups or researchers/research teams considered superfluous enough to be closed or made redundant and why

A brief accompanying description of the duties, roles, scope and cancelled projects of the above mentioned where relevant to the individual or group in question.

If the information is not currently held I would request that this information be released when it is.

In the interest of privacy, I will state clearly that I am not requesting any individual names and will leave that consideration of relevance, if any, to the ministry or departmental agency in question.

Yours faithfully,

Joshua Andrew Sims
