Official Information Act request relating to follow up to DPMC OIA-2025/26-0686:
Jewish organisations
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request, received on 22 May 2026.
You requested:
“Any advice or correspondence held by DPMC, for the period 27 November 2025 to 11
May 2026, that is from or about:
1. NZ Friends of Israel Association Inc (NZFOI);
2. Zionist Federation of New Zealand (ZFNZ);
3. New Zealand Jewish Council (NZJC);
4. individuals holding an Israeli dual citizenship; and/or
5. any person with an affiliation to the Israeli Defence Force (IDF).”
Under section 15A of the Act, I have decided to extend the time limits for deciding on your
request by an additional 14 working days. Consequently, the extended due date for our
response will be 1 July 2026. This extension is required because of the consultations needed
to make a decision on your request. Despite the extension, a response will be sent to you as
soon as possible.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under section
28(3) of the Act.
