your email to another Minister and/or Member of Parliament with more
appropriate portfolio responsibilities, then this will be noted,
* If you have invited Minister Allan to an event then a member of staff
may contact you for more information if the Minister’s attendance
might be possible,
* If you have made a request for official information then this will be
manged in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information
Act 1982, which may include transfer to a more relevant Minister or
agency,
* If you are a journalist then your request will be referred to the
Minister’s press secretary,
* If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of Parliament
for the East Coast, this will be referred to her electorate office.
