Hello,

I request under the Official Information Act 1982, all correspondence (including but not limited to emails, instant messages, briefings, reports, letters, minutes, notes, and file notes of phone calls) since 1 February 2024, on the following:

1. Correspondence within the Department of Internal Affairs regarding Deputy Chief Executive Maria Robertson's communication with Frederick Gibson (Fred Again) or his team.
2. Correspondence to or between the Minister of Internal Affairs and the Department of Internal Affairs regarding Fred Again or his team.
3. Correspondence to or between the Department of Internal Affairs and Fred Again or his team.

The scope of the request can be refined if collating would take too much time. Where other considerations outweigh the release of information, I would prefer to receive redacted documents where applicable rather than nothing at all.

Yours faithfully,

Mike Smith
