Dear K Wasasala
I am writing concerning Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 16 October 2025 which
asks for:
Since 19 September 2024, has Mr Peters met with Juliet Moses or any other
representatives of the New Zealand Jewish Council, and if so, on what occasions?
Please provide al instances of communications between Peters in his capacity as
Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade and Moses and other representatives of the New
Zealand Jewish Council. These should be delivered in their original form, not as
summaries.
Under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), I request al advice, meeting notes and
communications (emails, text messages, Whatsapp, Teams messages) regarding
meetings held with the representatives of the NZ Jewish Council since 7 October 2023.
This letter is to advise that we wil need to extend the time limit for responding to you by
10 working days, to 28 November 2025. This is because responding to your request
necessitates review of a large quantity of information, and meeting the original time limit would
unreasonably interfere with the operations of the Ministry (section 15A(1)(a) of the OIA refers).
However, if this process is completed before 28 November 2025, the response wil be sent to
you as soon as possible.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision by
contacting www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
Jackson Burgess
Private Secretary (Advisory/Media)
