Information Request – CAD number F3506630
I refer to your official information request dated 19 June 2022 asking for the Incident Report for
F3506630.
Your request has been assessed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982
(OIA).
The investigation into this incident is still in-progress. Consultations with external agencies confirm at
this early stage, it is premature to assess whether the SMS Incident Report will be source material into
this investigation. Therefore, its release could likely prejudice the maintenance of the law.
Consequently, the SMS Incident Report is therefore withheld in ful under section 6(c) of the OIA. You
can make a further request for the report and we can consider your request when you make it.
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.
