Double-bunking and sexual assault
Successful.
I've been informed, via the Office of the Ombudsman, that the Department of Corrections has told them the decision on this request should be sent "no l...
The 2017 annual report can be found here: https://www.acc.co.nz/assets/corporate-documents/acc7811-annual-report-2017.pdf
It doesn't work for me either, though "View as HTML" does seem to work. I've reported it so the FYI admins can take a look and see if there's anything...
Double-bunking and sexual assault
Successful.
I have laid the following complaint with the Office of the Ombudsman:
Tēnā koe,
I would like to lodge a formal complaint regarding an overdue respo...
It appears Police have sent this response to the wrong FYI email address. I think it was intended for this request instead? https://fyi.org.nz/request/...
Police interest in my rental property
Long overdue.
You do not need to fill out the form specified by New Zealand Police in order to make an official information request. The email that has already been...
What possible security reasons could there be for them not sending the file electronically? They've already decided that they're satisfied to release i...
Claim & Payment Breakdown by Therapy Type 2015/16
Partially successful.
I've sent a follow-up on my request for the 2016/17 data asking for ACC to investigate the cause of this difference, so hopefully they will be able to...
Claim & Payment Breakdown by Therapy Type 2015/16
Partially successful.
This is significantly inconsistent with data that has been provided elsewhere for the same figures over the same period. For example, this response rep...
It's disappointing that ACC has not provided the information in the format I requested, as required under s16(2) of the OIA, nor have given any reason...
Prisoners and election day
Partially successful.
Clearly they don't get an extra 20 working days to respond to this question just because they wrongfully refused part of your request.
However, they...
As mentioned by @FYI_NZ on Twitter (https://twitter.com/FYI_NZ/status/903405649073020928), s16(2) of the OIA says agencies should make information avai...
That's unreasonable. The police can, and should, email the PDF copy for free.
Prisoners and election day
Partially successful.
As far as I can tell, part 4 of your request ("Can remand prisoners early vote?") is not answered on the page linked to by Corrections: http://www.corr...
This sounds like NZ Police might be trying to move discussion of this request away from FYI. I'd recommend that you explicitly ask them to send their e...
It's disappointing to see New Zealand Police employing this delaying tactic again. They're very inconsistent with when they choose to require proof of...
Custodial Practice Manual
Successful.
Following my complaint to the Ombudsman, the Department of Corrections has now made a copy of the Custodial Practice Manual available (with redactions)...
List or register of people who have renounced or have been striped of New Zealand citizenship
Refused.
It may be worth sending another request asking for information that wouldn't intrude on anyone's privacy, such as asking for the number of people (perh...
Advice on Corrections Amendment Regulations 2017
Partially successful.
I have lodged the following complaint with the Ombudsman:

I've had another update regarding my complaint. Corrections are now reviewing my request with a view to releasing the information I've requested, with...
Table 16 of the cited research report (http://www.health.govt.nz/system/files/documents/publications/nz-drug-harm-index-2016-2nd-ed-jul16.pdf) breaks d...
Evidence more police will reduce crime
Successful.
My complaint to the Ombudsman regarding how this request was handled has now been resolved. Here are the relevant sections of their correspondence to m...
This request is a follow-up to a nearly identical request I had made earlier, which was misinterpreted and subsequently refused by New Zealand Police....
The person investigating my complaint regarding the response to this request has recommended I make a new, more explicit request for this information....
COTA Reports
Refused.
I know the requester has found out (though they weren't informed by Corrections), but for the benefit of anyone else following this request, the Depart...
