Subject: Official Information request - Vanisa Dhiru's role within MSD

Dear Ministry of Social Development,

I noted: https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...

Dhiru also sits on the Victoria University of Wellington Business School Advisory Board and on advisory groups for the Ministry of Social Development and the Ministry for Women.[1][9]

May I ask what sort of advisory groups Vanisa Dhiru was set on within the MSD? Can you please provide name to the group, term of reference of this group, her term of appointment and the pay rate.

Yours faithfully,

john luke

On 19 December 2022, you emailed the Ministry of Social Development (the
Ministry) requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act),
the following information:

o May I ask what sort of advisory groups Vanisa Dhiru was set on within
the MSD? Can you please provide name to the group, term of reference
of this group, her term of appointment and the pay rate.

respond to this request. In accordance with section 15(1) and 15A of the
Act, the Ministry’s decision will be with you no later than 7 March 2022.
