"Perhaps you should try the eastern and BOP districts directly as I only process requests for the Waikato District."
That's not your problem. Your re...

26 working days unlawfully overdue and counting... Police really don't seem to be taking this request very seriously, do they?

You may be interested to know that NZ Police have recently released more information regarding their use of force against animals. This includes the nu...
Complaints made about Corrections Officers

It's disappointing that Corrections has chosen to use an inaccessible format, and released this information as an image-based PDF. If you wish to avoid...

I see previous similar data released by ACC has also excluded GST. For example:

I see the costs they've specified are excluding GST, though it's not clear to me why this is the case. Does ACC not pay GST when they pay for these ser...

Information on use of police dogs

I wonder how NZ Police defined "serious" injuries in their response here. They provided this information in response to a question asking about long te...
Whether to conduct a review of the Official Information Act (OIA)
Partially successful.
37 MB isn't that big. Obviously it will depend on exactly what this file size limit is, but surely they could split the PDF into two or three separate...
