    Dear Correspondent
Thank you for contacting Rt Hon Winston Peters, Minister of Foreign
 Affairs, Minister for Racing and Minister for Rail.
Minister Peters considers all correspondence important and appreciates you
 taking the time to write.
Please note that since Minister Peters receives a large amount of
 correspondence, it is not always possible to personally reply to all
 emails.
The following guidelines apply:
· Invitations and requests to meet with Minister Peters will be processed
 as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
 course.
· Media queries will be responded to by a staff member.
· Requests for official information will be managed in accordance with
 provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may include
 transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
· If your email falls outside of Minister's Peters portfolio
 responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
 Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
 correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there
 may be no further response to you.
· If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of Parliament or
 Party Leader of New Zealand First, this may be referred to the New Zealand
 First Leader’s office.
(If your invitation or meeting request is accepted - please note
 information about meetings related to the Ministers’ portfolios will be
 proactively released (this does not include personal or constituency
 matters). For each meeting in scope, the summary would
 list: date, time (start and finish), brief description, location, who the
 meeting was with, and the portfolio. If you attend a meeting with the
 Minister on behalf of an organisation, the name of the organisation will
 be released. If you are a senior staff
 member at an organisation, or meet with the Minister in your personal
 capacity, your name may also be released. The location of the meeting will
 be released, unless it is a private residence. The proactive release will
 be consistent with the provisions in
 the Official Information Act, including privacy considerations. Under the
 Privacy Act 1993 you have the right to ask for a copy of any personal
 information we hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you
 think it is wrong. If you’d like to ask
 for a copy of your information, or to have it corrected, or are concerned
 about the release of your information in the meeting disclosure, please
 contact the sender. You can read more about the proactive release policy
 at https://www.dia.govt.nz/Proactive-Releas...

The 'proactive diary releases' were only made after this request was logged, so the response is highly dishonest.
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
 - Download a zip file of all correspondence (note: this contains the same information already available above).
