Dear John Luke
Official Information Act request: Communications on Stefan Sunde and EY
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request, received on 13 July 2024.
You requested:
“all correspondence with Stefan Sunde (Sunde is a member of the National party board
of directors)
all correspondence mentioning Stefan Sunde or "Stefan"
Plus, all correspondence about EY (Ernst & Young or Ernst and Young) including:
any mention of their 'scandal'
'secret drinking club'
'PR nightmare'
'sexual harassment'”
I can advise that neither the Prime Minister, nor his office holds any correspondence with or
mentioning Stefan Sunde. We also do not have any correspondence mentioning Ernst and
Young,
their scandal, secret drinking club, PR nightmare or sexual harassment.
Therefore, I am refusing your request under section 18 (e) of the Act as the document
alleged to contain the information requested does not exist.
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under
section 28(3) of the Act.
Yours sincerely
Cameron Burrows
Chief of Staff
