"Open Justice - Te Patiti" reporting guidelines
Erika Whittome made this Official Information request to Kris Faafoi
The request was partially successful.
From: Erika Whittome
Dear Kris Faafoi,
"Open Justice - Te Patiti" was announced by NZonAir which is government funding for journalists:
https://www.nzonair.govt.nz/news/110-jou...
Please would you share the following on this "Open Justice - Te Patiti" funding:
1. The goal of "Open Justice - Pātiti" reporting stream.
2. The definition of "Open Justice" as opposed to say "closed justice". All courts are already "open" in NZ (apart from family courts and certain criminal courts) with decisions available online. Would you please share the "open" aspect of this new reporting initiative paid for by the government?
3. What are the challenges this "Open Justice " seeks to overcome in New Zealand justice reporting?
4. What are the guidelines and keywords to be included and excluded from this justice reporting?
5. Are the journalists reporting on for "Open Justice - TePātiti" to always be named journalists for accountability and traceability in media standards?
6. The following cases all have a theme of unlawful activities from people in power or government officials. These have not been covered in detail (if at all) by the "Open Justice - Te Patiti". What are the reasons for not reporting on these high profile court decisions by "Open Justice - Te Patiti" which uncover unlawful activities from government officials and corporate bosses?
22 October 2021 High Court ruling, Justice Cook says at page 11 paragraph [30] in relation to being required to undergo a medical treatment for a job "...the level of pressure is significant and amounts to coercion ".

Kia ora,
On behalf of Hon Kris Faafoi, thank you for your email.
While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, and all
messages are carefully read and considered, it is not always possible to
personally reply to all emails. As such, the following guidelines apply:
· Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due course
· All media queries will be responded to by a staff member
· Requests for official information will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency
· If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be no
further response to you
Thank you for the taking the time to write.

Subject: OIA22-073 Official Information request - "Open Justice - Te Patiti" reporting guidelines
Dear Kris Faafoi,
"Open Justice - Te Patiti" was announced by NZonAir which is government funding for journalists:
https://www.nzonair.govt.nz/news/110-jou...
Please would you share the following on this "Open Justice - Te Patiti" funding:
1. The goal of "Open Justice - Pātiti" reporting stream.
2. The definition of "Open Justice" as opposed to say "closed justice". All courts are already "open" in NZ (apart from family courts and certain criminal courts) with decisions available online. Would you please share the "open" aspect of this new reporting initiative paid for by the government?
3. What are the challenges this "Open Justice " seeks to overcome in New Zealand justice reporting?
4. What are the guidelines and keywords to be included and excluded from this justice reporting?
5. Are the journalists reporting on for "Open Justice - TePātiti" to always be named journalists for accountability and traceability in media standards?
6. The following cases all have a theme of unlawful activities from people in power or government officials. These have not been covered in detail (if at all) by the "Open Justice - Te Patiti". What are the reasons for not reporting on these high profile court decisions by "Open Justice - Te Patiti" which uncover unlawful activities from government officials and corporate bosses?
22 October 2021 High Court ruling, Justice Cook says at page 11 paragraph [30] in relation to being required to undergo a medical treatment for a job "...the level of pressure is significant and amounts to coercion ".
