Kia ora Aaron,
Thank you for your email received today, 11th March 2025, in which you submitted an Official Information Act request as follows:
In this article (https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/political/544425/christopher-luxon-open-to-adopting-some-of-nz-first-s-anti-woke-proposals?Act

you said:
"We want to make sure it's a meritocracy, meritocracy, meritocracy... we need to make sure it's all about meritocracy"
Please provide all evidence you or your office hold relating to public service appointments not being appointed on merit - including any examples.
Based on the comment by the Prime Minister, I would expect there to be specific examples, not just anecdotes.
Your request is being considered in accordance with the Act, and you can expect a response by 8th April 2025 (date determined by the OIA calculator).
