From: Matthew <[FOI #27562 email]>
Sent: Wednesday, July 10, 2024 6:22 PM
To: Information [DPMC] <[DPMC request email]>
Subject: Official Information request - Cost of Promotional/Marketing Material

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

I am requesting information regarding both budgeted and the actual spend in NZD of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet for promotional and marketing material for years 2022, 2023 and 2024 (to 10/06/2024). This includes the cost of photographers, editors, social media teams, public relations (PR) staff, press secretaries etc and anyone else who works toward the goal of promoting Prime Minister and Cabinet public relations. I am requesting that this information be split into quarter yearly reports with itemised accounts of what each general job title has cost (photographer, social media manager, editor etc). I am requesting that it also be included how much has been spent to have these staff with the PM on each trip abroad for the time periods requested with itemised accounts of travel expenses including flights, accommodation and any other cost incurred as a result of these teams travelling with the PM.

Yours faithfully,

M Woodfield

Kia ora Matthew

 

We are contacting you regarding your request, dated 19 July 2024, made
under the Official Information Act which has been partially transferred
(attached) to the Department of Internal Affairs (the Department) as it
more closely aligns with the functions of the Department. You have
requested the following information:

 

I am requesting information regarding both budgeted and the actual spend
in NZD of the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet for promotional
and marketing material for years 2022, 2023 and 2024 (to 10/06/2024). This
includes the cost of photographers, editors, social media teams, public
relations (PR) staff, press secretaries etc and anyone else who works
toward the goal of promoting Prime Minister and Cabinet public relations.
I am requesting that this information be split into quarter yearly reports
with itemised accounts of what each general job title has cost
(photographer, social media manager, editor etc).

I am requesting that it also be included how much has been spent to have
these staff with the PM on each trip abroad for the time periods requested
with itemised accounts of travel expenses including flights, accommodation
and any other cost incurred as a result of these teams travelling with the
PM.

 

The Department is responsible for administering and processing expenses
for Ministerial Travel including members of the Cabinet approved travel
party. We will be responding to the parts of your request relating to the
cost of press secretaries accompanying Prime Ministers during
international travel (as per the underlined sections above).

 

I refer to the portion of your request asking for “itemised accounts of
travel expenses including flights, accommodation and any other cost
incurred”. The Department is unable to provide the information to the
level of detail you have requested. This is due to the way the Department
receives and receipts invoices for Ministerial travel. Invoices are
receipted against a specific trip rather than against a member of the
Cabinet approved Ministerial travel party. In order to apportion an
invoice to a specific member of staff would require substantial collation
and would not be particularly accurate. Furthermore, it would not be
feasible to provide itemised accounts as the invoices would need to be
individually scrutinised.

 

The Department is required by legislation to release Ministers expenses
and can provide you with links to our Ministers’ Travel and Accommodation
Expenses Quarterly Release and the Ministers’ Credit Card Expenses
Quarterly Release for the time periods specified. The costs reported in
these releases cover any persons travelling with the Prime Minister,
Ministers, and their staff for Cabinet approved international travel.
Furthermore, the costs reported on the Department’s website are aggregated
total spend and do not attribute costs to a specific member of the Cabinet
approved Ministerial travel party.

 

If there is a specific time period or Prime Minister that is of particular
interest to you or any other refinement of your request, please let us
know.

 

Please confirm by return email on or before Friday 2 August 2024 if the
above refinement of your request is acceptable and if you have any further
refinement to add.
