Request under the Official Information Act 1982
I refer to your email dated 25 August 2025 to Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga ǀ Ministry of Education (the
Ministry), requesting information regarding a previous Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) response
dated 23 November 2022, that is publicly available through the FYI website (reference TPNZIST0179),
which was authored by Te Pūkenga – New Zealand Institute of Skills and Technology (Te Pūkenga).
The Ministry transferred the fol owing part of your request to Te Pūkenga for response:
There now exists a clear public interest in understanding how Mr Lesa came to be appointed to
various Crown boards. I contend that it is not acceptable to rely on the previous grounds used to
withhold information in the earlier release. A more appropriate response, given significant
community concern relating to Mr Lesa, and given other agencies have released information
relating to appointment processes, would be to undertake a fresh analysis.
We also note your previous OIA request original y sent to the Minister for Vocational Education, Hon
Penny Simmonds, which was subsequently transferred and a response provided to you on 19 August
2025 by the Ministry.
This letter provides a formal decision on your request, quoted above, under the OIA.
Interpretation
We understand that you are seeking a re-evaluation of the information within the previous 2022
response,  regarding  information  relating  to  the  appointment  of  Mr  Fale  Andrew  Lesa  to  the
subsidiary boards of the Manukau Institute of Technology (MIT) and Unitec Institute of Technology.
Namely, a “fresh analysis”  of  the  “previous grounds used to withhold information in the earlier
release” - including where information was been withheld as “out of scope” or under section 9(2)(a)
of the OIA to protect the privacy of natural persons.

The decision
We have re-evaluated the 2022 response including information deemed inside and outside the scope
of the 2022 request, and the information that was withheld, and provide the fol owing decision.
Noting Principle 11 of the Privacy Act 2020 continues to be relevant, we have determined that it
remains appropriate to withhold information that was previously withheld under section 9(2)(a) of
the OIA to protect the privacy of natural persons. We remain of the view that the need to withhold
this information is not outweighed by the public interest in its release.
We have also determined that information previously withheld as “out of scope” of the OIA request,
remains outside the scope, as it pertains to individuals and/or business division subsidiary boards to
which the request did not relate.
However, to allay your concerns and as a sign of good faith we are releasing some of the information
previously  withheld  where  that  information  would  assist  readers’ understanding.  We  have  also
added references to section 9(2)(a) to information that remains withheld to help signify that the
information not provided is in relation to other people not related to Mr Fale Andrew Lesa nor the
MIT and Unitec subsidiary boards.
The information in question is detailed in the table attached at Appendix One, with a copy of two
revised documents provided at Appendix Two.
You have the right to make a complaint to the Ombudsman under section 28(3) of the OIA if you are
not  happy  with  this  response.  Information  about  how  to  do  this  is  available  at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or by cal ing 0800 802 602.
We may publish our OIA responses and the information contained in our reply to you on our website.
Before publishing we will remove any personal or identifiable information.
