trip pay for this trip themselves, or was this funded by the taxpayer?

How much taxpayer money was spent on flights, accommodation, and

In accordance with the Act, we will endeavour to respond to your request
as soon as possible and in any event no later than 15 August 2024, being

Hi Mike,

 

I am writing to update you on your OIA request to NZTE for Te Waka Hourua
trip to San Francisco information.

 

We are currently working through your request and consultation is
required. We are therefore extending the time to make a decision on your
request from 15 August 2024 to 26 August 2024.

 

We will endeavour to respond to you sooner, with 26 August 2024 being the
latest date for a decision. This extension is made under section
15A(1)(b), as the consultations necessary to make a decision on the
request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within
the original time limit.

 

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
[1]https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlo...
or you can freephone 0800 802 602.

 

Many thanks,

Maya.
