Tēnā koe James
Official Information Act request
Thank you for your FYI request of 1 November 2024, requesting the following
information:
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.
I have considered your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act).
Please find my decision on your request set out below.
I acknowledge that you have further refined the time period since your previous
request.
However, your request remains very broad in scope, and substantial manual
collation would be required to locate and prepare all documents within scope of
your request. As such, I refuse your request under section 18(f) of the Act. The
greater public interest is in the effective and efficient administration of the public
service.
I have considered whether the Ministry would be able to respond to your request
given extra time, or the ability to charge for the information requested. I have
concluded that, in either case, the Ministry’s ability to undertake its work would
still be prejudiced.
If you wish to discuss this response with us, please feel free to contact
[MSD request email]. If you are not satisfied with my decision on your request, you have the right to
seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman. Information about how to
make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or 0800 802
602.
