If you are an individual making a request, please advise us whether or not
you would have an objection to disclosing your identity if a third party
asks for your identity, and the reasons for your objection.

please advise us both whether you personally have an objection to
disclosing your identity, and the reasons for your objection, as well as
any objection to identifying the organisation, together with reasons.
NZQA will consider your reasons and whether they fit with any withholding
grounds under the Privacy Act 1993 or the Official Information Act 1982.

From: Stefan
Dear NZQA Ministerials team,
As an amendment to my request would reset the timeframe anyway, I have now made a second request in line with your suggestion which I hope will not require 'substantial collation and research'.
However I would still like to pursue this request by asking exactly what substantial collation is required. How much information would need to be collated, what level of resourcing would be required, and how did you determine this? In what way would the collation of the information I requested impact on NZQA's day-to-day operations, and how would this substantially differ from the impact of other OIA requests?
Yours sincerely,
Stefan
