Dear KiwiRail,

I am asking for the emails, documents and meetings/meeting notes on the decision to for kiwirail to no longer give out incident reports.
Previously kiwirail has followed through on these requests

But now Kiwirail refuses them.

Dear KiwiRail,

I am asking you to respond as by law you should have responded no later than June 27th. If you do not respond this week I am contacting the ombudsman.
Since you replied to my other OIA it stands reasonable that you have revived these emails.
OIA in question (https://fyi.org.nz/request/27215-request...)

Yours faithfully,

Luna
