Thank you for your email of 12 November 2015 requesting under the Official Information Act 1982, the
following information:
• All advice about the return of New Zealand s501 deportees from Australia. I am not interested in
individual cases, but rather advice relating to this group as a whole (for example, how quickly they
can be processed, what barriers there may be to return, and compliance with s18 BORA).
Your request is being processed in accordance with the Official Information Act 1982. If you have any
enquiries regarding your request, you may contact us via email at [MBIE request email] or
