Dear Department of Internal Affairs,

I was reviewing your response to request OIA2425 0299, and was rather surprised. The response provides a list of emails regarding an OIA request by a NZ Member of Parliament, most of which were entirely redacted. I already have all those emails as they were received by [email address] and [email address]. What does surprise me, is that a critical email- one sent to the zionists which provides personally identifying information of a requester, phrased in a way that suggests there has been no consultation with the requestor to confirm that their personal details may be disclosed, was not even mentioned in the table of emails considered in responding to my request. That email is below, though I have redacted information that was sent to the zionists by Miss Bradfield:

Subject: RE: Happy New Year and Freedom of information act request
Good afternoon Jesse

Thank for your email. I can advise that the request for information has been made by a Member of Parliament [REDACTED]. These sorts of requests are regularly directed to [REDACTED] under our Official Information Act. This particular request has been made by [REDACTED] MP. She is her party’s [REDACTED].

The Act does not require a requestor to advise why they want the information, so I cannot give you any information about that.

We appreciate that you may not wish the parts of the document related to Israel to be released. If that is the case, there is provision in the Act for information to be withheld if making it available would be likely to prejudice international relations.

To date, no other countries have come back to us, I will let you know if we get any responses by our deadline of Friday.

Regards
Gaynor

1) Does this email- which pretty clearly seems relevant to several of my questions in OIA2425 0299- "Is it standard practice for DIA when consulting external parties in response to a OIA request to disclose the name, employer, job title, and political affiliation of the requester?"- exist in DIA's email systems?
2) If it does exist in DIA's systems, why was it not even included in the table of communications within DIA and with external parties regarding OIA1819-0421?
3) If it does not exist in DIA's systems, that raises the question of why it doesn't exist in DIA's systems. Does the DIA allow deletion of emails related to OIA requests from DIA's email systems?

Yours faithfully,
Peter Brown
