Dear Minister of Police,

The response to my request for information is now long overdue. By law, you should have responded to this over a month ago. You may wish to undertake an internal review to see why this is taking so long when the initial request was lodged at the start of March.

A complaint has been laid with the Ombudsman.

Yours faithfully,

Kyle Sutherland
