Dear Feroze,
On 30 November and 4 December 2020, pursuant to section 18(b) of the Official
Information Act 1982 (the Act), I reached out to consult with, and perhaps assist you
refine the scope of your request in a way that it would not require substantial collation or
research.
I had explained that your request for “
all information held by New Zealand Police in
relation to Op Faga” is of considerable volume and likely would be refused pursuant to
section 18(f) of the Act, as the information cannot be made available without substantial
collation or research.
As of today, 18 December 2020, there has been no further response from you in regard
to refining and narrowing your request.
I am on leave until late January 2020, and if I have not had a response from you during
that time I will proceed with your request as it stands, on my return.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Kind regards,
Catherine (IMC)
