Official information request
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 24 September 2025 to the
New Zealand Security Intelligence Service (NZSIS) seeking the following information:
I would like to request to access the full playlist used by the perpetrator Brenton Harrison
Tarrant - responsible for the 2019 Christchurch Mosque attacks
I am refusing your request under section 18(g) of the OIA as the information you have
requested is not held by the NZSIS and I have no grounds for believing it is held by another
department or is more closely connected with the functions of another department.
If you wish to discuss this decision with us, please feel free to contact
[NZSIS request email].
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz
or freephone 0800 802 602.
