Tēnā koe Sebastian,

Thank you for your Official Information Act request.

We will endeavour to respond to your request as soon as possible and, in any event, no later than 20 working days after the day that your request was received. If we are unable to respond to your request by then, we will notify you of an extension of that timeframe.

Kia ora Sebastian,

We refer to your official information request below.

We have transferred your request for copies of the vectors of harm papers to the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC).

National Assessment Committee papers were all issued under the authority of the Director of the National Assessments Bureau, who was the chair of the NAC. The National Assessment's Bureau is part of the National Security Group, within DPMC. Because of this, we believe the information you have requested is more closely aligned with the functions of DPMC; in these circumstances, we are required by section 14(b)(ii) of the Official Information Act 1982 to transfer your request.

You will hear further from DPMC concerning that part of your request.

Kind regards
NZSIS

Thank you for your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA)
transferred from NZSIS on Tuesday 29 March 2022. You requested:

 

I would like to request copies of the “vectors of harm” papers produced by
the NZSIS on these topics:

 

1)Sabotage and Subversion

2)Espionage

3)Weapons of Mass Destruction

 

We will respond to your request within the statutory timeframes set out in
the Act.  If we are unable to met these timeframes we will notify you.
Please note, due to the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet’s
(DPMC’s) involvement in the government’s response to COVID-19, our
timeliness to respond to requests may be impacted.  If any additional
factors come to light which are relevant to your request, please do not
hesitate to contact us so that these can be taken into account.

 

Your request will be managed by the Ministerial Services Team within DPMC.
If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us at
[1][email address].

 

DPMC may publish the response to your OIA request. If we publish the
response your personal information, including your name and contact

We refer to your official information request dated 10 March 2022 for a copy of the 2008 Briefing to the Incoming Minister.

The Official Information Act 1982 requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day that we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are, therefore, writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision, to 22 April 2022.

This extension is necessary because the consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit. Due to the current impact of Omicron outbreak on the agencies we need to consult with we have had to extend the timeframe longer than would normally be required. We hope to get a response to you sooner than 22 April.

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

Ngā mihi

Good afternoon Sebastian,

Unfortunately due to the impact of Covid on our team’s operations, we will be unable to meet the deadline for this OIA request.

We are working on the request and will send your response as soon as practicable – likely within the next week. We apologise for the delay.

Kind regards
NZSIS
