We simply do not hold the information you seek with respect to the
production of individual programmes in your request below. Under the
Official Information Act we are required to advise you that this aspect
of your request request is refused under s18(e) of the Official
Information Act as the information does not exist.
We may be able to provide you with some information for the production of
content for TAHI but as mentioned in our reply to your other OIA request,
our small Finance department is currently fully committed preparing RNZ's
draft Annual Report and engaging in the annual audit round with external
auditors to provide our 2023-2024 accounts to our Board and Parliament
within statutory timeframes. For this reason we will need to extend the
deadline for a response to those other aspects of your inquiry for another
month, to Monday November 4, 2024.
You have a right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
