Dear Tony

We refer to your Official Information Act 1982 request dated 26 August 2015 for the following information:

"The KiwiRail response to the OIA request (27 July 2015) notes "Some of the information within these reports has been withheld under s9(2)(a), protect privacy of natural persons and for being outside of the scope of your request."

Can I please have a complete copy of each of these three reports (including any information that KiwiRail previously deemed "out of scope")?"

We attach the 3 reports however we stand by our previous response that certain information within those reports was withheld under s9(2)(a) of the Act to protect the privacy of individuals.

Information has been withheld under:
• s9(2)(b)(ii), which protects information that is made available could prejudice the commercial position of the person who supplied or who is the subject of the information;
• s9(2)(g)(i), free and frank expression of opinion.

Under s28(3) of the Act, you have the right to seek an investigation and review of this decision by way of complaint to the Ombudsman. Refer to www.ombudsman.govt.nz for more information.

Please let me know if you have any comments before sending to the Requester on Wednesday 23 September 2015.

Regards
Louise
