Ministerial instructions, advice & communication re: move-on orders
Miss M Quicken made this Official Information request to Ministry of Justice
The request was successful.
From: Miss M Quicken
Dear Ministry of Justice,
I've already asked the Minister himself regarding the advice you have provided through to him through your ministerial briefings.
However I would like to ask you to provide the below outside briefings:
a) Instructions provided by any of the ministers to you (ministry) relating to move-on orders including requests for briefing.
b) Official requests / communique both to you and from you relating to move-on orders including emails requesting data, evidence and information etc.
To shine the light on how the minister is performing decision making & oversight on this matter on what matters both the ministry and minister considered on making their decisions affecting New Zealanders at large.
Yours faithfully,
Miss M Quicken
