This request has an unknown status. We're waiting for Carl Wiggin to read recent responses and update the status.
From: Carl Wiggin
Dear Shane Reti,
I have been reading that in the UK a minister was been found to have been using a personal email account for official business, that same thing has happened in USA.
I am interested in if this is happening in NZ.
Please provide a record of any/all emails forward between your offical email account and any personal email accounts.
A list of subject lines is all I need.
I accept that some subject lines may be redacted.
Please note I will be making same request to one or two other ministers.
Yours faithfully,
Carl Wiggin
