Kia ora Ministry of Business, Innovation & Employment,

This is an OIA request.

In the past, the Ministry has published a selection of its responses to OIA requests on its website, both on this page:
https://www.mbie.govt.nz/about/open-gove...

And via a category of material in its published document library:
https://www.mbie.govt.nz/document-librar...

However, it does not appear as though any new OIA responses have been published to MBIE's website since 22 August 2025 (in relation to the first link above) and 8 September 2025 (in relation to the document library).

I would like to understand why this is, particularly since it is something that Te Kawa Mataaho publishes statistics on every six months.

Please provide me with:
1) A copy of any recorded information that documents a decision to stop, suspend, pause or reduce publishing OIA responses on MBIE's website.
2) Notes of any meeting, either internally within MBIE or with people from other government departments or the Ombudsman's office, since 1 July 2024 when the policy, procedure or practice relating to publication of OIA responses on MBIE's website was discussed.
3) Any emails sent within MBIE since 1 July 2024 that relate to a change in the policy, procedure or practice relating to publication of OIA responses on MBIE's website.
4) Any emails MBIE has sent to, and received from, Te Kawa Mataaho the Public Service Commission since 1 July 2024 that relate to a change in the policy, procedure or practice relating to publication of OIA responses on MBIE's website.
5) Any emails MBIE has sent to, and received from, the Office of the Ombudsman since 1 July 2024 that relate to a change in the policy, procedure or practice relating to publication of OIA responses on MBIE's website.
6) The four internal MBIE policies listed in section 9 on page 8 of MBIE's 'Official Information Act Request Policy' (published here: https://www.mbie.govt.nz/dmsdocument/307... ), namely the Information and Records Management Policy, the News Media Policy, the Privacy Policy, and the Publishing Official Information Policy.

Under section 16(2) of the OIA my preferences are (a) to receive a copy of the whole document (b) that the information is disclosed in a text searchable format, either Word or PDF, and (c) that it is sent to the email address from which the Ministry received this request.

If the Ministry decides that there is 'good reason' under the OIA to withhold any of the information I am requesting, then under section 19(a)(ii) of the OIA, I further request that it provide me with the grounds in support of each instance of a withholding reason cited for refusal. Guidance for agencies on how to meet their section 19(a)(ii) obligations is available from the Ombudsman at this location:
