Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

The annual Pulse Survey was carried out in 2024. As of today, few have seen the results which usually contain all the data aggregated into combined results for the organization and broken down by service. I am requesting that NZDF release those combined results formatted in a similar manner to previous years, and also provide the following data:

1) Pulse results for the PTE(E)-CPL(E) rank bracket,
2) Pulse results for the SGT(E)-WO2(E) rank bracket,
3) Pulse results for the OCDT(E)-CAPT(E) rank bracket,
4) Pulse results for the MAJ(E) and above rank bracket, and
3) Pulse results for the CIVILIAN workforce.

The results must remain comprehensive with discrete detail maintained (strongly disagree and strongly agree included as options).

Since the 2024 results haven't been released as they normally would for reasons unknown. In the interests of transparency from a government organization can you also share all emails or any other documents / correspondence related to the reasons which would limit the distribution of the Pulse survey results. If no documents exist, I request that the final decision-maker make a statement providing the reasons why they made the decision to to suppress the results. I am especially interested in anything where the reasons stated are because HQNZDF was concerned at the results being too negative by outlining high scores for "strongly disagree".

Yours faithfully,

Paul
