Kia ora,

Thank you for contacting Hon Paul Goldsmith, Minister of Justice, Minister
for Arts, Culture and Heritage, Minister for Media and Communications and
Minister for Treaty of Waitangi Negotiations.

Hon Paul Goldsmith considers all correspondence important and appreciates
you taking the time to write. As the Minister receives a large amount of
correspondence, it is not always possible to personally reply to all
emails.

If your correspondence is diary related, requests will be processed
accordingly.

If your correspondence requires a response, you can expect a response in
due course.

If your correspondence relates to another Minister's portfolio, your
correspondence will be transferred to the appropriate Minister.

If your correspondence expresses an opinion, it will be noted.

If your request relates to media, it will be referred to Minister
Goldsmith’s Press Secretary.

If you have made a request for official information then this will be
managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act
1982, which may include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
Over the holiday period in December and January
there is a three-week period that doesn’t count as ‘working days’. For
Official Information Act (OIA) requests, that period is 25 December to 15
January, inclusive. That means any OIA requests submitted on 27 November
or later may take a bit longer than you
expected.

Latest information from the Beehive can be found here:

If you are concerned about someone's wellbeing, you can call your local
mental health crisis team. A full list of numbers is available here:
