Happy to assist requesters in composing their OIA requests to make them clear and intelligible to agencies. And an interest in assisting requesters on how best they can get the information they need.
Also interested in:
- organisations' internal processes, procedures, and practices, for dealing with the processing, handling and refusal of OIA requests.
- the existence of any legal tests to fulfil the statutory withholding provisions.

Awaiting classification.
The Privacy Act allows you to request information about *yourself* (but not others). So it is possible to make a Privacy Act request (not OIA request)...
Request for old TVNZ brand guides
Information not held.
I find it odd that TVNZ don't retain their previous years' brand guides. They even couldn't provide the guide that immediately precedes the current 202...
RNZ are very poor at responding to OIA requests within timeframes. My suggestion is you should complain to the Ombudsman on the basis that a lack of re...
Sean Plunket Based Journalist
Refused.
I completely agree with TVNZ's last point about requester's needing to be respectful. The sign-off was completely out of order.
Rebranding of Public Agencies

Did you get what you want from this request?
Out of interest, what is your interest in the re-naming and re-branding of public agencies?

"Justified limits" on the freedoms and rights of New Zealanders for a disease with 1 percent infection fatality rate
Long overdue.
1 Parts 2 and 3 of your request ask for an opinion, which is not the purpose of making a request for official information. In response to part 3, if yo...

After all that it was online!
Information related to the CONVOY 2022 NZ protest
Information not held.
I thought the Minister might use that reason to avoid having to answer the request. The implication of his response is that he made the comments in his...
Signed UN Migration Compact document

It was online all this time!
Hi Craig
If you believe the Minister has improperly withheld information relating to "all briefings and other communications to or from the Minister...
Censorship

It seems you may not be entirely getting the information you seek because your request was ill-defined to begin with.
Censorship
Partially successful.
Your request is not very well scoped. The first and last legs of your request is very wide because it asks for "all". And the first leg asks for curren...
Correspondence received in relation to National Library and Internet Archive
Partially successful.
If the legal opinion is assessed for release it will be interesting to see if this is withheld.
It's dissapointing they don't have an electronic system.
Did you think one was on the cards?
Pay Restraint in the Ministry of Health
Waiting clarification.
Looking at your request again it is not clear whether you are wanting highest paid at DHBs or the Ministry. If it is DHBs, are you wanting the top ten...
Pay Restraint in the Ministry of Health
Waiting clarification.
TVNZ and RNZ for example publish in their annual reports the number of employees earning over $100k in $10k bands. However they don't provide the posit...

I don't understand your request. When you say 'decisions', are you talking about editorial decisions made by reporters, editors or executive pro...

I support the Ministry's approach to discuss your request verbally so your request is fully understood and can be properly answered and expedited.

While you are welcome to ask Archives to explain why they have withheld it, this does not progress the release of the information you seek. I...
