Dear Victoria University of Wellington,

Under the OIA I require the following:

In this 2023 article in The Press:

https://www.thepress.co.nz/a/nz-news/350...

VUW published the following statement on behalf of Dr Bryce Edwards:

"In a statement via the university, Edwards said the main research outputs – including a book – are scheduled to be delivered at the end of 2024. A ‘Web of Influence’ public database will be published in October, and ‘case studies’ later this year and early next year.

There was no Political Integrity Index NZ for 2022, but it will launch at the election, and ‘vested interest’ public campaigns are still being developed, the statement said. “The main public campaign, so far, has been to get the issue of political lobbying onto the public agenda in order to initiate reform.”
