Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Chris Bishop, thank you for your email.

possible, and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
course.

with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
o If your request relates to media, it will be referred to the media

o If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, your correspondence will be noted and/or
transferred to another office.

Dear John,

 

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act
request dated the 13^th of July 2024.  You have requested the following
information:

 

“I am requesting:

 

all correspondence with Stefan Sunde (Sunde is a member of the National
party board of directors) all correspondence mentioning Stefan Sunde or
"Stefan"

 

Plus, all correspondence about EY (Ernst & Young or Ernst and Young)
including:

any mention of their 'scandal'

'secret drinking club'

'PR nightmare'

'sexual harassment'

 

The above mentioned terms are related to recent articles on EY and their
'probe' into misconduct. The probe investigated numerous staff members,
with resignations as a result.

 

Sunde has worked at EY for four years, covering the period being
investigated.

 

He leaves EY in July, with no job other job to step into, and has
requested people contact him with help for a new role. Please refer to
LinkedIn post:
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www....

 

His post has no 'likes' from directors or partners, in what one can assume
is an attempt to distance themselves and not be affiliated him Sunde.”

your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than
