NZ Post has miscalculated the due date again. According to section 15(1AA) of the Official Information Act, because NZ Post asked you for clarification...
I know it's been a few months now, but I'd suggest you might try complaining to the Ombudsman about this refusal if you haven't already.

It's no longer relevant, since NZ Post has asked for clarification within 7 working days of having received your request, but it seems worth noting tha...
Thanks a lot for your advice Roger. I honestly hadn't noticed that NZ Police hadn't stated a specific ground for refusal if I do not pay their fee, tho...

I don't believe that's a valid interpretation of when the request was received. As soon as it went to their spam folder, the school received it. It doe...

This is a ridiculous justification for refusing your request. If it were true that the information you had requested does not exist, then it would be i...
