From: Chris McCashin
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
Can you please disseminate this OIA request to all NZ MPS who were in office on 30th October 2023 including Chris Luxon, David Seymour, Winston Peters et al and the rest.
On the 30th October 2023 all NZ MPs received an email from Barry Young asking them to stop the Covid-19 vaccine because he had identified serious safety signals with the vaccine due to the work as an administrator he was doing.
I understand none of the MPs responded?
Mr Young was arrested on 3rd December 2023.
Can you please provide
- All of the MPS emails to police, internally, memos formal and informal, correspondence with Health, Justice, Police, any specialist teams, other MPS any and all correspondence that MP had associated with this topic prior to Mr Youngs arrest on 3rd December.
Please note any and all information that DPMC deems not in this scope should be provided. Ultimately I want that MPS written correspondence about this topic for the month prior to Mr Youngs arrest.
Yours faithfully,
Chris

“Members of Parliament (MPs) are not subject to the Act, nor are emails from the public to MPs considered official information. Therefore, we are refusing your request as it is not for official information, as per section 2 of the Act.”
That appears to be quite wrong, regular MP’s would have to be specifically excluded from the act and they are not as far as I can see. Why even have the act if MP’s and their correspondence are exempt, seems ridiculous!
