Thank you for your email of 3 February 2024 requesting, under the Official Information Act 1982 (the
Act), the following information:
Can you please provide a list of all formal advice received and the date of its receipt since 27
November 2023.
Please find attached as Appendix One a list of titles. Some information has been withheld
pursuant to section 9(2)(f)(iv) of the OIA, to maintain the constitutional conventions for the
time being which protect the confidentiality of advice tendered by Ministers of the Crown and
Officials. Information has been withheld under section 9(2)(a) of the OIA to protect the privacy of
natural persons.
I am satisfied that in the circumstances of this case, the withholding of the information is not
outweighed by other considerations which render it desirable in the public interest to make
the information available.
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
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or
freephone 0800 802 602.
Nāku noa, nā
Hon Shane Jones
