Thank you for your email of 7 June 2025 to the Ministry of Business, Innovation and
Employment (MBIE) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), the
fol owing information:
I would like to request al documents related to the HMAS Canberra radar
interference incident of June 4.
I am writing to advise you that MBIE wil provide a response but needs to extend the time
available to answer your request. MBIE’s response wil be sent to you no later than 11
August 2025, which is an extension of 25 working days.
The reason for the extension is that your request necessitates a search through a large
quantity of information and meeting the original time limit would unreasonably interfere
with our operations and consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are
such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request or this response, or if you require any
further assistance, please contact
[email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of our
decision to extend the time limit. Information about how to make a complaint is available
at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Nāku noa, nā
