Advice on all-weather horse-racing track

Alex Harris made this Official Information request to Winston Peters

The request was refused by Winston Peters.

From: Alex Harris

Dear Winston Peters,

On 28 January the Minister for racing announced that the government would be part-funding an all-weather horse racing track ("NZ to get new all-weather horse racing track", RNZ, 28 Jan 2018). I would like to request the following information under the OIA:

* all advice (including, but not limited to, briefings, memos, cabinet and cabinet committee papers, and memories of advice given orally) on the decision to fund an all-weather horse-racing track. I'm particularly interested in the business case for it.

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

Dear correspondent

On behalf of Rt Hon Winston Peters, thank you for your email.

While the Deputy Prime Minister considers all correspondence to be
important and all messages are carefully read and considered, it is not
possible to provide a personal response to every email which is received.

Where the Deputy Prime Minister has portfolio responsibility for the
issues that you have raised, your correspondence will be considered and
responded to where appropriate.

Thank you for taking the time to write.

(Please note that this acknowledgement is an automatically generated
email.)

Regards
Office of Rt Hon Winston Peters
