Dear James
Request for information
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (OIA) request of 16 January 2024, in
which you requested:
Has the NZ police briefed the current Minister of Police or any former
Minister’s of Police regarding al egations or complaints relating to retail crime
concerning Green Party MP Golriz Ghahraman under the “no surprises” rule
applicable for govt Ministers. If so, please provide dates of any advice given
and correspondence related to such advice.
I can confirm that there have been no ‘no surprises’ briefings provided to the Minister, or
any former Ministers of Police, regarding this matter.
Please note that as part of its commitment to openness and transparency, Police
proactively releases some information and documents that may be of interest to the
public. An anonymised version of this response may be publicly released on the New

I trust this fulfils your request.
Yours sincerely
