Dear Matthew Hooton
Official Information Act request relating to regarding ‘They Are Us’
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act), received
by the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) on 13 July 2021. You
requested:
“…please advise on what date DPMC first became aware of the proposed film project
which has developed into “They Are Us”. I seek only the date…”
A search of DPMC’s electronic records was undertaken. Based on the results of this search,
I am advised DPMC learned of the proposed “They Are Us” film production on 10 June 2021,
when the film received media coverage.
This response will be published on DPMC’s website during our regular publication cycle.
Typically, information is released monthly, or as otherwise determined. Your personal
information including name and contact details will be removed for publication.
Yours sincerely
Clare Ward
