Minister's Diary for Last Week
Joshua Grainger made this Official Information request to Minister for Economic Development
The request was successful.
From: Joshua Grainger
Dear Hon Steven Joyce,
It is often alleged that a lobbyist registrar isn't necessary because Minister's diaries can already be requested under the Official Information Act. I would like to test this. As such I would like to request
* a copy of the Minster's diary for the 3rd to the 9th of September 2012, including: the names of any persons that the Minister is meeting with, including the names of any organizations that they were representing; the subject of any meeting the Minister had.
In the case of meeting public servants or private constituents the disclosure of names is not necessary. "Briefing with Ministry of Education Officials" or "Meeting with Constituent" would work fine.
If the subject of any meeting cannot be disclosed under s6 or s9 I would still like to know the identity of those who were met with.
Feel free to contact me if you wish me to clarify my request.
Yours faithfully,
Joshua Grainger
From: S Joyce (MIN)
Minister for Economic Development
Dear correspondent
On behalf of Hon Steven Joyce thank you for your email.
While the 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 Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that you
have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded to where
appropriate.
Regards
on behalf of
Hon Steven Joyce
Minister for Economic Development
Minister of Science and Innovation
Minister for Tertiary Education, Skills and Employment
Associate Minister of Finance

A successful request and some interesting info. I especially love that Steven Joyce (in his role as a Minister according to him!) was hosted by the Todd Corporation at a rugby match. It's especially "interesting" given the meetings that Mr. Joyce attended the day before the match and their potential relation to the business the Todd Corporation are involved with.
