Dear OIA Enquiries,

 

Thank you for your response.

 

A simple clarification.

In answer to the following: Please provide all communications to Manurewa
Marae and Takutai Tarsh Kemp outlining the parameters and rules she was
expected to follow as part of the conditions of the Marae being used as a
place of voting. This should include all emails, texts, formal letters
etc.

 

I assume your response covers all assurances if any were given as that
would clearly relate to and fall under parameters and rules.

 

Is this correct? Can you please confirm.

 

Thank you.

 

Yours sincerely,

 

James
