From: Dan Moskovitz
Dear Todd McClay,
I am aware the Department of Conservation have sent you some 'status updates' on avian influenza. As such, I request these status updates, alongside any further advice or information your office has received regarding avian influenza.
I would also like to know what implications avian influenza could/is having on Aotearoa's trade.
A preemptive thank you to you and your staff - I understand OIAs can be time-consuming and bothersome, so please know I appreciate the mahi which goes on at your end.
Please let me know if I can be of any further assistance.
Yours faithfully,
Dan Moskovitz

Heard back from Minister McClay's office today, and was told that a new response is being finalised, and is expected to be released tommorow. I asked his office to respond to the FYI email to ensure it gets published here.
Things to do with this request
- Add an annotation (to help the requester or others)
- Download a zip file of all correspondence

I am surprised by the refusal of DoC's status updates under 18(e), as previous DoC documents obtained under the act mentioned sending him status updates. I've contacted Minister McClay via email so I could send him copies of the documents I mean to get further clarification.
