Minister's Diary for Last Week

Joshua Grainger made this Official Information request to Minister of Education

The request was successful.

From: Joshua Grainger

Dear Hon Hekia Parata,

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

On behalf of Hon Hekia Parata thank you for your email.  Your
correspondence has been noted and will be recorded.

 

All correspondence, including email,  is routed through our mail tracking
process.  Although e-mail increases the speed of delivery, the
“behind-the-scenes” efforts of the Minister’s staff in responding to
mail cannot always provide the kind of speedy response users of email may
anticipate.

 

While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, if it is
obvious that you are writing only to express a personal view your opinion
will be noted but a response beyond this acknowledgement may not be sent.

 

If you are inviting the Minister to attend an event you are organising,
our office will be in touch shortly.

 

Kind regards

 

 

Office of Hon Hekia Parata, MP

Minister of Education | Minister of Pacific Island Affairs | National List
