Request for OIAs declined under Section 6 of the Official Information Act

Marcus made this Official Information request to Jacinda Ardern

The request was partially successful.

From: Marcus

Dear Jacinda Ardern,

This request relates to the portfolio of Prime Ministers.

I'd like to request a list of OIA requests declined under Section 6 of the Official Information Act. In particular, date of response, subject line/topic and the applicable subsection of Section 6. I'd prefer to receive this information in the form of a .xlsx file rather than PDF if possible.

Additionally, I'd like to refer to the subject lines provided by the Prime Ministers office in OIA references: OIA-2017/18-0141 and PMO 132-2016. You'll see there are a list of OIAs that were rejected under Section 6.

I'd like to know if the status of any of those subjects have changed. To clarify, I'd like to know there is any previously rejected/redacted information can be now be provided along with the first request.

Yours faithfully,

Marcus

Dear Jacinda Ardern,

I'm writing to remind you that today (Oct 5th, 2018) marks the end of the 20 working day period within which a Minister or agency must respond. I understand this request may be lengthy but I haven't received any notice of receipt either.

I've also noticed that, as this FOIA is being made via https://fyi.govt.nz, that there are a few other requests which share the above expiration date so I'm a little concerned that requests either aren't reaching your office or aren't being consistently acknowledged.

I think an extension of 1 week (5 working days ending next Friday) is long enough for a notice of receipt but failing to receive one, I'll be invoking my right to appeal to the Ombudsman.

Yours faithfully,

Marcus
