Dear Andrew,
Thank you for your email of 13 May 2025 requesting, under the Of icial
Information Act 1982 (the Act), the following information:
Please provide copies of content that was redacted at paragraph 89 of the briefing
[Workplace Relations and Safety portfolio - Briefing to the Incoming Minister] and in
the table on page 36 of the briefing.
The Act requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later
than 20 working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it
wil not be possible to meet that time limit, and we are therefore writing to notify
you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 25 July 2025.
This extension is necessary because the consultations necessary to make a
decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably
be made within the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of
this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely,
Of ice of Hon Brooke van Velden
Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety
