Dear Simon Ewing-Jarvie
I refer to your email of 29 May 2018 in which you request the following under the Official
Information Act 1982 ( OIA):
"I request a copy of the Arrangement of Cooperation for Operation Wasawasa 2017
and the extended scope of the same document for 2018 deployments."
The information to which your request relates appears to be more closely connected with
the functions of the New Zealand Defence Force (NZDF). Therefore, your request has been
transferred to NZDF in accordance with the provisions of section 14 of the Act.
You have the right under section 28(3) of the OIA to seek a review of this response by the
Ombudsman.
Yours sincerely
