SUBJECT: ‘Information Request on MYD coordination of Youth Parliament 2025’
Dear Ministry of Social Development,
This information request is specifically for the Ministry of Youth Development, whose ministerial/OIA services seem to be provided by MSD.
I am requesting information from the team/people involved with New Zealand Youth Parliament 2025, within the Ministry for Youth Development.
Specifically, I am requesting information and documents which detail directives or guidance received by, directives/messages/guidance disseminated by, and discussions/information shared amongst, the aforementioned team/people within MYD, on the matter of determining and/or preventing overly* partisan and/or overly* political: sentiment, conduct, language, or messages/speech - at New Zealand Youth Parliament 2025.
*The word OVERLY here meaning meeting a threshold or level deemed by MYD as inappropriate or unacceptable at New Zealand Youth Parliament 2025 for any reason.
The documents/information requested does not need to be singularly centred on the aforementioned matter, only include this matter within them. This information may be within emails, teams messages, meeting minutes, guideline documents, other documents, or notes - kept/received, or disseminated by the aforementioned people on the aforementioned matter.
Although this request is already quite narrow, to avoid substantial collation of information, keywords can be extracted from the outline of my request above to be used in e-Discovery searches (or similar auto-collating software) to applicable folders/databases. In the case of e-Discovery this should not be limited or redacted except for the information to which section 6 of the OIA applies to. Please note, section 6 of the OIA does not provide for the withholding of email addresses or names of public servants as per Ombudsman case 486208, so this should not add to the efforts of collating information.
I am a New Zealand citizen by birth, residing in Te-Whanganui-a-Tara, Wellington.
If there are any questions or concerns around my request laid out above, please let me know at your earliest convenience.
Ngā mihi,
Requestor.
