Dear Office of the Ombudsman,

 

My name is Roger Bicknell, an NZ citizen. I am writing to complain that
Mark Mitchell MP has yet to release information I have requested under the
Official Information Act. I have been waiting since November 2026. The
information pertains to a matter of public interest regarding the Minister
and New Zealand Police.

 

My original request, for your reference is available at the following link
below. I would appreciate your investigation.

Yours faithfully,

 

R S Bicknell
