Dear New Zealand Police,

My name is Vince McLeod and I am a New Zealand citizen.

A previous Official Information Act request (https://fyi.org.nz/request/17924-request...) revealed that, in May 2019, the New Zealand Police became aware that VJM Publishing was promoting t-shirt sales on TradeMe with the slogan 'It's Okay To Be White'.

I would like to know the following:

- On what grounds is it a Police matter that a person promoted t-shirt sales on TradeMe with the slogan 'It's Okay To Be White'?

- Under what legal authority can the New Zealand Police collect information about someonw on the basis that they are promoting t-shirt sales on TradeMe with the slogan 'It's Okay To Be White'?

- How did the New Zealand Police become aware that such t-shirt sales were being promoted?

Yours faithfully,

Vince McLeod
