From: Aaron Cross

Dear Kieran McAnulty,

Lobbying has been a controversial topic for the government in recent times and as racing industry stakeholders have in the past had engagement with certain politicians, I write to you today to inquire if this has been the case for your office and the wider Labour Party.

Under the Official Information Act, please can you provide copies of All written correspondence, and details of the nature and substance of any other communication, since the Robertson Review was completed (30/07/2021) between any member of the Racing Minister's office and the following organisations or individuals:
Thompson Lewis
Capital Government Relations
Saunders Unsworth
Draper Cormack Group
Cosgrove & Partners
Anacta Consulting
Awhi Group
TAB New Zealand
Go Bloodstock NZ
Sir Owen Glenn
SkyCity Casino

Yours faithfully,
Aaron Cross
