Malachi Subecz - Oranga Tamariki staff accountability

James made this Official Information request to Kelvin Davis

The request was refused by Kelvin Davis.

From: James

Dear Kelvin Davis,

I am seeking clarification around a statement accredited to you by Newshub Political Editor, Jenna Lynch in her story that aired on 01/12/22.

“Kelvin Davis told us that 3 senior staff working for Oranga Tamariki on this case no longer work for the agency, we understand two them saw the writing on the wall and the 3rd went through a full employment process before they lost their job”.

As such please provide the exact dates the 3 senior staff ceased to work for Oranga Tamariki.

Yours faithfully,

James

Kia ora

 

Thank you for contacting Hon Kelvin Davis, Minister of Corrections,
Minister for Mâori Crown Relations: Te Arawhiti, Minister for Children,
Associate Minister of Education (Mâori), and MP for Te Tai Tokerau.

 

The Minister considers all correspondence important and appreciates you
taking the time to write. 

 

Please note that as Minister Davis receives a large amount of
correspondence, it is not always possible to personally reply to all
emails.

 

The following guidelines apply:

 

-Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed as
soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
course.

 

-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.

 

-If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of Parliament for
Te Tai Tokerau, this will be referred to the electorate office.

 

(If your invitation or meeting request is accepted - please note
information about meetings related to the Ministers’ portfolios will be
proactively released (this does not include personal or constituency
matters). For each meeting in scope, the summary would list: date, time
(start and finish), brief description, location, who the meeting was with,
and the portfolio. If you attend a meeting with the Minister on behalf of
an organisation, the name of the organisation will be released. If you are
a senior staff member at an organisation, or meet with the Minister in
your personal capacity, your name may also be released. The location of
the meeting will be released, unless it is a private residence. The
proactive release will be consistent with the provisions in the Official
Information Act, including privacy considerations. Under the Privacy Act
1993 you have the right to ask for a copy of any personal information we
hold about you, and to ask for it to be corrected if you think it is
wrong. If you’d like to ask for a copy of your information, or to have it
corrected, or are concerned about the release of your information in the
meeting disclosure, please contact the sender. You can read more about the
proactive release policy at

(Please note that this acknowledgement is an automatically generated
email.)

Regards

The Office of Hon Kelvin Davis
