The request was successful.
From: James
Dear Ministry of Social Development,
Under the OIA I would like to request the following:
All emails, texts and communications relating to complaints about Manurewa Marae and concerns regarding Te Pati Māori and/or Takutai Tarsh Kemp from January 2023 to December 1st 2023. Please note this has been refined and limited in time scope as my previous request was rejected for being too broad.
Thank you.
Yours faithfully,
James

Dear OIA_Requests (MSD),
Hi Magnus,
MSD is one of several government agencies involved in the Manurewa Marae saga involving Māori party member Tash Kemp. As part of that investigation one would naturally assume MSD records would be swept for any concerns or complaints regarding the above.
Clearly this has not occurred.
As such, please amend my OIA request once again, limiting it to any complaints about Manurewa Marae/ Te Pati Māori and/or Takutai Tarsh Kemp from January 2023 to December 1st 2023.
Given no guidance has been provided regarding what part of my request is too broad in scope, I trust this amendment will be taken without the need for a new OIA request to be submitted.
Thank you.
Yours sincerely,
James
