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.

I'm just glad I'm not the public servant who needs to respond to this request!
In response to their paragraph 7 (costs to be made available after the second referendum), I think they ought to rely more on 18(d) of the OIA.

What is the intent behind this request?
I agree Joshua. They should release the drafts now to satisfy your request. It is unnecessary to delay the provision of the information on the basis th...
