Hi Catherine,
I've been told that my request is too substantial, and was wondering whether you could clarify which parts were substantial so I can limit the request. The request is at https://fyi.org.nz/request/9014-informat...
Also, if you could please reply to the @requests.fyi.org.nz address that was received for this request so that the FYI system can display all correspondence publicly.
Cheers,
Hugh
