Kia ora P Shaw,

 

I refer to your request of 11 February 2022 for the following information:

 

1. all communications between the New Zealand Police and any company where
the police sought to contract that company to remove the vehicles
associated with the "Convoy 2022" protest either in the parliament grounds
or within 1km of the parliamentary grounds over the period of 08/02/2022 -
12/02/22.

2. Also, the police stated they could not establish meaningful
communication with the "Convoy 2022" protest organisers. I would like to
request the documents or communications that were intended for
communication with the "Convoy 2022" protest organisers over the period of
08/02/2022 - 12/02/2022.

3. I would like to request all documentation or notices of illegal
activity issued to the "Convoy 2022" protest organisers or the "Convoy
2022" protestors during the period of the 08/02/2022 - 12/02/2022.

4. I would like to request any information held by the New Zealand Police
that has been referred to by the New Zealand Police as 'misinformation' as
it relates to the "Convoy 2022" protest during the period 08/02/2022 -
12/02/2022.

5. I would like to request any communications between the New Zealand
Police and any and all representatives of the following companies; Stuff
Limited, over the period of 08/02/2022 - 12/02/2022.

 

Police has received a large number of Official Information Act 1982 (OIA)
requests relating to the protest activity at Parliament and we remain
committed to meeting our obligations under the OIA. However, as key
personnel remain committed to the operation it is necessary for Police to
extend the time limit under section 15A(1)(b) as the consultations
necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper
response to the request cannot reasonably be made within the original time
limit.

 

Police requires until 11 May 2022 to provide a substantive response to
your request. If it is possible to get information to you ahead of this
new deadline, every effort will be made to do so.

 

You have the right, under section 28(3) of the OIA, to make a complaint to
an Ombudsman about this extension.

 

If you wish to discuss any aspect of your request with us, including this
decision, please feel free to contact
[1][email address].

 

Kind regards,

Toby
