Dear Cooper O'Neil
Official Information Act request: Prime Minister's travel to Japan
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), received
on 18 June 2024. You requested:
Further information on Air New Zealand diverted aircraft to Brisbane to pick up
your delegation, before proceeding to Japan.
Could you please provide me with all communication, including, but not limited
to: text messages and emails relating to this (including text messages with Greg
Foran).
I would also like copies of any invoices relating to the charter of this flight.
I believe the second part of your request for invoices is more closely connected to the
functions of the Department of Internal Affairs. Accordingly, I have decided to transfer this
part of your request to Department of Internal Affairs under section 14(b)(ii) of the Act. The
other parts of your request have not been transferred, and I will respond in due course.
The Department of Internal Affairs has the usual time limits from receipt of this transfer to
make a decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Cameron Burrows
Chief of Staff
