Kia ora Phil

 

On behalf of the Ministry for the Environment, I acknowledge receipt of
your email of 24 February, requesting the following information:

 

…how the government defines "junk science", what specific criteria are
used to measure and qualify "junk science" as opposed to more reliable
science and how - and in what form - data should be put forward to
ministers so as to ensure it does not meet this new threshold for "junk
science".

 

We will be in touch if we need to discuss the scope of your request.

 

Your request will be considered according to the provisions of the
Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). You will receive a response as soon
as is reasonably practicable. 

 

Thanks for your interest in our work.

 

Ngā mihi mahana
