Requesting information

T.L.Young made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police

This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for T.L.Young to read a recent response and update the status.

From: T.L.Young

Dear New Zealand Police,

I wish to seek clarification, since 17/12/2024 I have been requesting a full comprehensive copy of my held file.
Why am I being told 90days continuously, given we would be knocking on that timeline since Dec2024? I have even been special enough to have the same suggestion reworded to potentially be hidden under ‘an extension’. I have had my initial requested closed at the repliers discretion and another request reopened, further trying to reset the clock?
However, I here and I am reading - under the Privacy Act 2020 - 20days, 20days, 20days….
Given compliance and transparency should be second nature in your role, one does ponder - Why are you dragging your feet behind closed doors and publicly explain things differently?
Screams damage control?

Yours faithfully,
Mrs Young.
