Tēnā koe Joel,
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act),
received on 18 May 2026, in which you requested the following information:
All information held relating to your meeting with Apple held on 31 March
2026. Please include, but do not limit this request to agendas, minutes, notes,
briefings, talking points, correspondence, emails, calendar invitations,
attendee lists, and any follow-up actions or communications.
There are emails and text messages in scope of your request. I am releasing this
document to you in part, attached as
Appendix A. Some information has been
withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the Act, to protect the privacy of natural persons.
Some information has also been withheld due to being out of scope of your request.
As required by section 9(1) of the Act, I have considered whether the public interest
in making the withheld information available outweighs the need to withhold it. I do
not consider that it does.
You have the right to ask an Ombudsman to review this decision. Information about
how to make a complaint is available at [email address] or by
writing to Office of the Ombudsman, PO Box 10152, Wellington 6143.
Kind regards,
Hon Erica Stanford
Minister of Education
