Tēnā koe Reagan Gibbons,

I am writing concerning your Official Information Act request below, to advise that responding to your request as currently framed would require review of a significant amount of information, to locate information potentially in scope and capture a significant volume of information. As such, it is likely that your request will be refused under section 18(f) of the OIA, as it would require substantial collation and research.

Accordingly, I am seeking your agreement to refine your request to be for:
Key Submissions provided by MFAT to the Minister of Foreign Affairs since 1 January 2022 regarding the Occupied Palestinian

Please note, it is likely that we will need to withhold information from documents in scope of your request.

Please confirm if you are happy to proceed with the refined request above, by 21 February 2023. If we do not hear from you, we will proceed with your original request.

Tēnā koe Reagan Gibbons,

I am writing concerning your OIA request below. This email is to advise that we will need to extend the time limit for responding to you by 20 working days, to 28 March 2023. This is because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time frame (section 15A(1)(a) of the OIA refers)

However, if this process is completed before 28 March 2023, the response will be sent to you as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, you can contact us by email at: DM [email address]. You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision by contacting www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or freephone 0800 802 602.
