Project White Report - Calibre
AnonSkiGuy made this Official Information request to Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment
The request was refused by Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment.
From: AnonSkiGuy
Kia ora MBIE
On 7 Dec 2023 MBIE proactively released a report prepared by Calibre Titled Project White.
Apart from being a very odd name the other mentionable feature of this report was the complete redaction of all but the Title or Cover page.
RAL is on the cusp of being wound up. The Administrators report has identified there are no further assets to distribute and so it would seem a perfunctory wind up will now occur.
Given the passage of time, the public interest in the management of the RAL liquidation and the significant amount of public money consumed during this process I am requesting an unredacted version of the report.
I would also like all correspondence between Calibre and MBIE relating to this report.
Yours faithfully,
AnonSkiGuy
