Dear Gold

 

Thank you for your email in which you submitted an Official Information
Act request as follows:

 

On The Platform you explicitly claim that the IRD is a criminal
organization. As a Member of Parliament, as a Minister of the Crown,
claiming that an entire Government Department is "criminal" is a serious
accusation and I can't imagine this being said, in public, without some
solid evidence.

this to be a true claim.

to respond to your request as soon as possible and in any event no later
than Monday10 February 2025, being 20 working days after the day your

Subject: Official Information request - Details on the criminal status of
the IRD

 

Tēnā koe David Seymour,

 

On The Platform you explicitly claim that the IRD is a criminal
organization. As a Member of Parliament, as a Minister of the Crown,
claiming that an entire Government Department is "criminal" is a serious
accusation and I can't imagine this being said, in public, without some
solid evidence.

this to be a true claim.

 

Ngā mihi,

Gold
