Kia ora Will,

 

This is to confirm that today, 6^th August 2025, the Prime Minister’s
office accepted full transfer of your Official Information Act request as
follows:

 

“The total number of emails received by the Prime Minister, Christopher
Luxon, from members of the New Zealand public, between 7 October 2023 and
today, that request or urge the Government to take stronger action in
response to Israel’s conduct towards Palestinians, including possible war
crimes.

 

To help narrow the scope, I request that this be based on emails that
include one or more of the following keywords or phrases:

• “war crimes”

• “sanctions”

• “accountability”

• “stop Israel”

• “do more” (in reference to Gaza or Palestine)

• “protect civilians”

• “take action on Israel”

 

I am not requesting the content of the emails, only the number that meet
these criteria. If a keyword-based search is possible, that would be
sufficient.”

 

Your request is being considered in accordance with the Act, and you can
expect a response by 3^rd September 2025 (date determined by the [1]OIA
calculator).

 

Ngâ mihi nui
