Kia ora John Luke,
I am writing to update you on your OIA request to NZTE regarding the meetings with the New Ministers,

We are currently working through your request and consultation is required. We are therefore extending the time to make a decision on your request from 13 February 2024 to 20 February 2024.
We will endeavour to respond to you sooner, with 20 February 2024 the latest date for a decision. This extension is made under section 15A(1)(b), as the consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or you can freephone 0800 802 602.
Thanks,
Isla
