Dear A W Farmer
Official Information Act request relating to Cabinet minutes that mention Crypto
AG
Thank you for your request made under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act),
received on 26 July 2021. You requested:
“Please provide me with any cabinet minutes that mention Crypto AG, or it's
alternatives "Thesaurus" or "Rubicon" during the October 2019 to April 2020 time
period.”
On 23 August 2021, the timeframes for making a decision on your request were
extended to allow for consultations on the transfer of your request. Following these
consultations, I am now ready it respond.
I believe that the information you have requested is more closely connected to the
functions of the Minister Responsible for the NZSIS. Accordingly, I have decided under
section 14(b)(ii) of the Act to transfer your request to the Minister Responsible for the
NZSIS.
Hon Andrew Little has the usual timeframes under the Act from receipt of this transfer
to make a decision on your request.
Yours sincerely
Sarah Corbett
