Thank you for contacting the office of Hon David Parker, Attorney General,
Minister for the Environment, Minister of Revenue, and Associate Minister
of Finance.

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

The following guidelines apply:

* Portfolio related correspondence will be considered and responded to
where appropriate.
* If your email is an invitation or request to meet with the Minister,
your request will be processed and a staff member will be in contact
in due course. As the Minister receives a high volume of invitations,
it is not always possible to respond immediately.
* 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
a transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
* If your email falls outside of the Minister's portfolio
responsibilities, your correspondence may be transferred to another
office.
* If your email expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and there may
be no further response.

Regards

Office of Hon David Parker

Office of Hon David Parker MP | Attorney-General | Minister for the
Environment |  Minister of Revenue | Associate Minister of Finance
