Kia ora,
On behalf of Hon Chris Bishop, thank you for your email.  
Hon Chris Bishop considers all correspondence to be important and
appreciates you taking the time to write.  As the Minister receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to personally
reply to each email. As such the following guidelines apply:

* Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible.  However, due to the high volume of invitations the Minister
receives, it can take us some time to process your invitation.  We
thank you for your patience. 
* Requests for official information (OIAs) will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
* If your request relates to media, it will be referred to the media
team.
* If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, your correspondence will be noted and/or
transferred to another office.
* Latest information from the Beehive can be found here:

If you are a resident in the Hutt South electorate, please email

Dear Kris,

 

I am writing to acknowledge receipt of your Official Information Act
request dated the 27^th of June 2026.  You have requested the following
information:

 

" In  an article in The Post (
https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://www....
) the Minister is quoted as saying:

 

"Bishop confirmed to The Post he sought advice on a brand change after
feedback from members of the public.

 

He said he was asked “why it wasn’t called something simple like NZ
National Ticketing, so I asked whether it was possible to change and how
much it would cost”."

 

I am requesting a copy of:

 

1) All feedback received from members of the public.

2) Correspondence the Minister has sent and received to/from NZTA and
related parties on this topic."

 

We received your request on 27/06/2026.  We will endeavour to respond to
your request as soon as possible and in any event no later than
27/07/2026, being 20 working days after the day your request was
received.  If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will
notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

 

Kind regards,

 

Office of Hon Chris Bishop
