Dear Hoa
Your Official Information Act request: DIA reference OIA 2122-0264
I write to you regarding your Official Information Act (Act) request, which was received by the
Department of Internal Affairs (DIA) on 27 September 2021
Your request:
I understand u have an intranet page for photos of cute pets, known as "infurnal affairs". Please send
some of the recent fabulous dog or cat photos.
Response to your request
We no longer have an intranet page for this purpose however we do sometimes receive cute pet
photos and share them in our internal newsletters or pānui as appropriate. This fits in with our desire
to be a great workplace and one that encourages all kaimahi (staff) to bring their whole selves to work
and share what’s important to them. A few recent photos we have received and shared are pasted
below for your enjoyment!
If you would like to discuss these parts of your request further, or if you have any feedback or questions
about the Department’s response, we invite you to contact us directly at
[email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision.
Information about how to make a complaint is available at www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
Yours sincerely
