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 know it wasn't your decision to transfer, but I wondered if you had thought about asking why, when it seems odd (to me at least)?

There is no provision to extend the request once the 20 workind day limit has ended.
The fact is that the Minister's office is happy to provid...

I don't agree with Sarah that invoking 18B* wouldn't have allowed the request to be answered. However from her perspective, it would be easier to close...
