RE: [EXTENSION OF OIA]: OIAPG113 - Official Information request - Creative NZ
Appointment
Thanks Harriett. I'd like to change it slightly so we explicitly mention the legislative basis for the extension.
9(2)(a) - could we please send the following -
--------
Dear Hugh,
I refer to your official information requested dated 7 May 2024 for any and all correspondence Minister Goldsmith had
on the appointment of Janitta Pilisi to Creative NZ board.
A response to your request is being prepared. However, due to the external consultation required, a response cannot
reasonably be made within the original time limit. Accordingly, I am extending the time limit for response to this request
under section 15A(1)(b) of the Act by 20 working days to 28 June 2024.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to
make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Released under the Official Information Act (1982)
Dear Hugh,
I refer to your official information requested dated 7 May 2024 for any and all correspondence Minister Goldsmith had
on the appointment of Janitta Pilisi to Creative NZ board.
The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we
received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit, and we are therefore writing to
notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 28 June 2024.
This extension is necessary because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a
proper response cannot be reasonably made within the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to
make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.

Hi Harriet,
Pulling all the material relating to OIAPG113 into one place.
As discussed, could we please present the OIA response as being one list of documents, rather than separating out the
two elements of the request/splitting office and MCH.
Can MCH please compile the various documents and redact as necessary –
-
personal details of Ministerial Office staff
-
advice tendered by the Minister
-
free and frank advice and information out of scope (not strictly related to Janita’s appointment).
-
Legally privileged
Happy to chat – thank you.

Kia ora,
This OIA response has been extended by the office and is now due on 28 June.
Per the below email, the office has asked that MCH edit the response so that it is one response rather then being split in
two sections. This is primarily because there is no significant communication in scope from this office.
The additional materials that have been sourced by the office are attached.
Can these please be reviewed and redacted as appropriate by MCH? I am happy to defer to the team as to a realistic
timeframe to get this done, I know you’re all under the pump at the moment.

Please note information about meetings related to the Ministers’ portfolios will be proactively released (this does not include personal or constituency matters). For each
meeting in scope, the summary would list: date, time (start and finish), brief description, location, who the meeting was with, and the portfolio. If you attend a meeting with the
Minister on behalf of an organisation, the name of the organisation will be released. If you are a senior staff member at an organisation, or meet with the Minister in your
personal capacity, your name may also be released. The location of the meeting will be released, unless it is a private residence. The proactive release will be consistent with
the provisions in the Official Information Act, including privacy considerations. Under the Privacy Act 1993 you have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we
hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, or are concerned about the
release of your information in the meeting disclosure, please contact the sender. You can read more about the proactive release policy at https://www.dia.govt.nz/Proactive-
