They'll be seeking clarification over exactly what information you are seeking: "cost of convictions" as in "social damage of drink driving", or "cost of convictions" as in "cost of trials and penalties".

Dear Dean Rutherford,

You can contact me on 06 357 5053 and just ask to be put through to Alecia - my cell actually broke down on Sunday!

Yours sincerely,

Hello Alecia,
 
It was good to speak to you the other day. As we discussed, we do not
capture the cost of convictions (as requested in your OIA). 
 
If you would like to change your request to something about the volumes of
convictions, or of people convicted, I would be happy to progress this
request.
 
Also I would like to draw your attention to a range of data published via
the Statistics New Zealand website about Convictions and Sentences, here -
[1]http://www.stats.govt.nz/tools_and_servi....
Supporting analysis of this data is available on the Ministry of Justice
website here -

The Ministry of Transport has some interesting data on the impact of
Alcohol and Drugs on road crashes, see here -

Thanks
Dean

Dear Dean Rutherford,

I've just jumped online and updated the status from "they do not have the info" to "withdrawn" - hopefully this helps.

Yours sincerely,
