Kia ora Ali
I am writing to see how we can refine your request to identify what is the
actual topic you are interested in please.
My initial work indicates that there are literally hundreds of channels
and chats across the platforms you identify and there could be thousands
of postings to process. On that basis we would be unable to answer your
request and it is refused under s 18(f) of the Official Information Act,
namely "…that the information requested cannot be made available without
substantial collation or research".
If you wish to refine your request further, we please send us an amended
request.
As we are required to do, this message is to also advise you that our
response to your request can be referred to the Ombudsman’s Office for
review under s 28 (3) of the Official Information Act if you wish.
Kind regards
George Bignell
