Does NAB provide assessments on the risks of domestic terrorism in New Zealand?
Alex Harris made this Official Information request to Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet
The request was partially successful.
From: Alex Harris
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
The National Assessments Bureau (NAB) is listed as part of DPMC. I would like to request the following information under the OIA:
* Does the National Assessments Bureau provide assessments on the risks of domestic terrorism in New Zealand? If so, I would like the date and title of the last five such assessments, and a copy of the most recent one.
In anticipation of the interests protected by sections 6(a) and 6(c) of the OIA, I am happy for information which would damage the effectiveness of security or intelligence operations or prejudice the investigation or prosecution of offences (insofar as such operational information is present in a risk assessment) to be redacted.
I would prefer to receive an electronic response. Queries about this request will be automatically forwarded to me by the fyi.org.nz website.
With regards to s12 of the OIA, I am an NZ citizen and in NZ.
Yours faithfully,
Alex Harris

Thank you for your email.
Could you please advise how this OIA request was sent to DPMC and to which email address as we have no record of having received your original request.
We have searched this inbox ([DPMC request email]) and it does not appear to have come to this address.
We have now logged a job with our IT team to search for the original email so it would be helpful to be able to give them further information for their search (ie email address, date sent, subject line etc)
In the meantime if you forward a copy of your request we will action it
Regards
Trish
