Official Information Act request
Thank you for your email of 2 June 2024, requesting “
all emails, texts, and
communications relating to complaints about Manurewa Marae and concerns
regarding Te Pati Māori and/or Takutai Tarsh Kemp”.
I have considered your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
Your request is very broad, and substantial manual collation would be required to
locate and prepare all documents within scope of your request. As such, I refuse
your request under section 18(f) of the Act. The greater public interest is in the
effective and efficient administration of the public service.
I have considered whether the Ministry would be able to respond to your request
given extra time, or the ability to charge for the information requested. I have
concluded that, in either case, the Ministry’s ability to undertake its work would
still be prejudiced.
If you wish to discuss this response with us, please feel free to contact
[MSD request email]. If you are not satisfied with my decision on your request, you have the right to
seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman. Information about how to
make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or 0800 802
602.
