Dear Sir/Madam,
Official Information Act request relating to concerns about Targeted Individual
Programme
Thank you for your Official Information Act 1982 (the Act) request received on 2 December
2024. You requested:
Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,
How.many 501s are dead from suicide from your targeted individual program?
Yours faithfully,
Targeted individual winston peters
We wrote to you on 4 December 2024, seeking clarification of your request. Without further
information on what you are referring to by a targeted individual programme, the Department
of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC) is unable to progress your request.
As such, I am refusing your request under section 18(e) of the Act, as the requested
information does not exist.
The New Zealand Police has published some statistics that you may be interested in, which
are available here:
https://www.police.govt.nz/about-us/statistics-and-publications/data-and-
statistics/deportees-from-australia
You have the right to ask the Ombudsman to investigate and review my decision under
section 28(3) of the Act.
We do not intend to publish this response on the Department of the Prime Minister and
Cabinet’s website.
Yours sincerely
Clare Ward
