Dear John
Official Information Act request relating to communication and financial involvement
with Glitterpil and Khalifa Ihler Institute
Thank you for your Of icial Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 16 October
2023. You requested:
I'm requesting any communication and/or financial history shared between DPMC, or
any inter-agency organisations DPMC is involved in, and Glitterpil LLC as well as The
Khalifa Ihler Institute”.
We contacted you on 13 November 2023 advising of an extension on the timeframe of your
OIA request to 20 December 2023.
We have made a decision on your request. It wil take us some time to prepare the
information you have requested. We will release the information you have requested on or
before 29 February 2024. We have decided to withhold some of the information you
requested under the following sections of the Act:
• section 9(2)(a), to protect the privacy of individuals;
• section 9(2)(g)(i ), to prevent improper pressure or harassment; and
• section 9(ba) to protect information which is subject to an obligation of confidence.
In making my decision, I have considered the public interest considerations in section 9(1) of
the Act. No public interest has been identified that would be sufficient to override the reasons
for withholding that information.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under
section 28(3) of the Act.
Yours sincerely
Janine Smith
