Kia ora,

Thank you for your response to my request.

Given that it is now July 2024, I would like to follow up on the status of the correspondence I requested. Specifically:

Are there any plans for the withheld correspondence to be made public in the near future? If so, could you provide an estimated timeline for its release?

If the information will not be released, could you please clarify why the public interest in disclosing the correspondence does not outweigh the reasons for withholding it?

I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your response.

Ngā mihi,
John Wilson
