[FYI request #30050 email]
Dear John Luke
We refer to your Official Information Act (1982) request of 12 February 2025 for:
1.
“[Relating to appointment of Officers of the Government to the Ross
Dependency] I noted you said there is a warrant of appointment signed by GG.
May I request to view the copy of the warrant for these 4 appointed individuals.
2.
Also, you talked about a sworn in process by MoJ, can you please explain how
this been done, is there a ceremony?”
This email is to advise we have transferred the following part of your request to the Ministry
of Justice for response as the requested information is believed to be more closely
connected with the functions of the Ministry of Justice (section 14(b)(ii) of the OIA refers):
2.
“[Relating to appointment of Officers of the Government to the Ross
Dependency] Also, you talked about a sworn in process by MoJ, can you
please explain how this been done, is there a ceremony?”
This office has extended the deadline to respond to your request under section 15A(1)(b)
of the OIA by 10 working days to accommodate this transfer.
You will hear further from the Ministry of Justice concerning part two of your request.
Yours sincerely
Jackson Burgess
