Dear New Zealand Defence Force,

I would like to request the following information under the Official Information Act:

* a list of all current Defence Force Orders, including their title, date of issue, and date they were last updated.

I am aware that the content of some orders will likely be classified. I note that classification does not in and of itself justify a s6(a) refusal, and that the harm to national security must be assessed on the merits for each piece of information. But I'm happy for the relevant information to be redacted in the unlikely case that it does justify refusal.

I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.

With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.

Yours faithfully,

Alex Harris
