Dear Ministry of Education,

Tēnā koe,

 

I am writing to make a request under the Official Information Act 1982,
addressed to the Minister of Education.

 

I request all correspondence between Chris Duggan, or any other staff
member or representative of the House of Science, and the Hon. Erica
Stanford, Minister of Education, including correspondence conducted
through the Minister's office, ministerial staff, private email accounts,
or personal text or messaging services, for the period 1 January 2024 to
31 December 2025.

 

This request includes but is not limited to:

 

- Emails sent to or from any ministerial email address, the Minister's
private email address, or ministerial staff acting on behalf of the
Minister;

- Text messages or messages sent via any personal or professional
messaging platform (including but not limited to iMessage, WhatsApp, or
Signal);

- Any letters, briefing notes, or written communications passed through
the Minister's office;

- Any responses or acknowledgements sent by the Minister or ministerial
staff to House of Science staff.

 

Can I also ask for any emails outlining potential conflicts of interest
for Chris Duggan and copies of risk registers related to the Science
curriculum development work and her appointment to the curriculum writing
team for Science in January 2025.

 

If any information is withheld, I request that you identify the specific
grounds under the Official Information Act 1982 on which it is withheld,
and confirm whether the information can be released in redacted form.

 

I trust this request will be processed within the statutory timeframe of
20 working days.

 

Ngā mihi,

Claire

 

Yours faithfully,

 

CMC
