The location of the meeting will be released, unless it is a private
residence. The proactive release will be consistent with the provisions in
the Official Information Act, including privacy considerations. Under the
Privacy Act 1993 you have the right to ask for a copy of any personal

It's somewhat ironic that a negative response to an OIA request i.e. when the information is not held, is hugely informative. That's certainly the case here where the reply confirms that no estimates have been done on the capital charge and depreciation implications of $20b worth of new Defence kit. Time to get rid of capital charge for core state services. I've written on this on my blog here https://unclas.com/2019/07/03/charge-of-...
