Request for copy of police email regarding "something needing to be done" about a website

Cost of Rainbow police car launched for Pride festival.
Partially successful.
They also did a special car for te wiki o te reo Māori last year. In both cases, the events regarded a community that NZ Police have typically not trea...
Searches of prisoners
Refused.
I believe the Department of Corrections does not intend to respond to this request, and consider their response to a related request (https://fyi.org.n...

Double-bunking and sexual assault
Successful.
There are several URLs in that PDF which, because it's a scanned image rather than text, cannot be clicked and have to by typed by hand. For convenienc...
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...

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/...

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

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...
