Dear New Zealand Police,

Please provide me with all the documents, manuals, policy, training & advice and the associated linked pages on the internal police intranet based "Hate hub" as revealed by a senior police officer in the Free Speech Unions press release on the new hate speech policy being introduced by the Police.

In case there is any confusion the press release reads as follows:
"Used with permission from an unnamed Senior Officer (we've verified their identity). The last two sentences are particularly frightening.

"I am also a senior police officer (who, incidentally, did my master's dissertation on hate speech legislation).

I am very concerned by this training (it is only one example of the type of ideologically influenced and training that police staff have to complete).

There is also an internal, intranet-based "Hate Hub" for all things "hate" and staff have been directed that any reported incidents of hate speech that are not offences must still to be recorded as "hate incidents".

The test of what is considered a hate incident, according to policy, is anything the complaints feels is hateful towards them as a member of a minority group.

There is no objective test, only subjective.

Police don't take reports for other matters that are not offences without good reason, and it is deeply concerning that this is now policy.

The policy seems to have been introduced in a quiet, bit-by-bit manner over a number of months which raises the suspicion that it's been deliberately done this way to avoid public scrutiny.

I did not sign up to be the thought police, in fact I became a police officer to protect people's inherent rights, and this is deeply troubling." - Aug 2nd posted on x.com

I am a New Zealand citizen residing in Auckland my entire life so I am more than eligible to request this information.
