This does not include staff from New Zealand Defence force, District Health Boards, Police, Hotel staff or
sub contractors such as First Security because they are not on MBIE’s payroll.
I trust that you find the information helpful. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the
Ombudsman of my decision relating to this request, in accordance with section 28(3) of the Act. The
