Dear Mr Mckenzie
Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982, in which you
requested the fol owing:
According to media reports there have been three arrests so far, the first being
Ngatokotoru Puna (strangely who just happens to be the nephew of Cook Island
PM).
The last two arrests no details given were other than one was "a woman" and the
other "a man". The reason their details were not provided were "taxpayer secrecy
prevented the release of more details" according to media reports.
Why were Mr Puna's details given? Why was his case not covered by taxpayer
secrecy laws?
We received the request on 1 December 2016. Having regard to the upcoming
Christmas break the statutory date for response is 19 January 2017.
Yours sincerely
Leisa Coley
