Kia ora,

On behalf of Hon Chris Bishop, thank you for your email.  

Hon Chris Bishop considers all correspondence to be important and
appreciates you taking the time to write.  As the Minister receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to personally
reply to each email. As such the following guidelines apply:

o Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible, and a staff member will be in contact with you in due
course.
o Requests for official information (OIAs) will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
o If your request relates to media, it will be referred to the media
team.
o If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, your correspondence will be noted and/or
transferred to another office.
o Latest information from the Beehive can be found here:

If you are a resident in the Hutt South electorate, please email
[2][email address]

and one of his team will be in touch.

Dear James,

 

Thank you for your email on 20 February 2024, requesting the following
under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):

 

“E hiahia ana ahau ki te kape o nga tohutohu katoa mo te Maori kua tukuna
atu ki Kâinga Ora râua Te Tûâpapa Kura Kâinga”

 

We have interpreted your request for information on all advice sent to the
Minister on Mâori by Kâinga Ora – Homes and Communities and Te Tûâpapa
Kura Kâinga – the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. The Minister
receives a large amount of advice which may include advice on Mâori. To
search for where this may have occurred would require substantial
collation and research. As such your request would likely to be refused
under section 18(f) of the Act, as the information requested cannot be
made available without substantial collation or research.

As such we ask that you narrow the scope of your request, such as by
providing the following:

o more specific keywords around “advice on Mâori” to enable us to narrow
our search, and/or
o clarification on whether you would like a list o advice or copies of
advice the Minister has received.

If we do not receive clarification, your request will be interpreted as
written in your original request. While we will endeavour to respond to
your request as soon as possible, any clarification or amendment of a
request is considered to be a new request for the purpose of calculating
the maximum statutory timeframe for response—see section 15(1AA) of the
OIA. 

 

Kind regards,

Subject: Re: Clarification OIA24-CB034 Official Information request - Te whakawhitiwhiti reo Maori

Kia ora,

I would like to clarify that I am referring to all correspondence from Chris Bishop or his office regarding the use of te reo Māori. This includes instructions on how Kāinga Ora and Te Tūāpapa Kura Kāinga should use te reo Māori in communications to the Minister, how they must use it when communicating to the public, and how they must use it when drafting responses on behalf of the Minister's Office (e.g Letters from the Minister).

Yours sincerely,

James Webb
