Successful.
See: http://norightturn.blogspot.co.nz/2014/07/still-sinister.html It seems as though NZ Police (or Greg Water in particular?) have something they w...
Police Officers Name from Officer ID
Request to New Zealand Police by J Kettlety. Annotated by Gavin Millar on June 16, 2014.
Successful.
The response made here is pretty disgustingly dismissive and high-handed and once again not valid under OIA legislation. It has been clearly establis...

Advice to Associate Minister for ACC
Request to Accident Compensation Corporation by Gordon Waugh. Annotated by Gavin Millar on November 20, 2012.

EQCs Reinsurance Details
Request to Toka Tū Ake – Natural Hazards Commission by J Coburn. Annotated by Gavin Millar on November 07, 2012.

The claim that the mere list of names of EQC's Reinsurers is commercially sensitive is ridiculous on every level.

EQCs Reinsurance Details
