Craig Ryan made this Official Information request to Minister of Revenue

The request was successful.

From: Craig Ryan

Dear Minister of Revenue,
I would like to know the process of who orders the arrest warrant, what the charge or offence is?

Also how will the process proceed?
In the event that the alleged criminal is unable to pay, will they be incarcerated in a New Zealand prison until they can pay?

What will the penalty or sentence be?
After the sentence is served, will the convicted criminal still be liable for the outstanding debt?

What are the humane rights implications of this new legislation regarding the arrest at boarder of defaulters of Student loans.

Yours faithfully,

Craig Ryan
