Dear Ministry of Defence,

 

Under the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, I am requesting
access to all communications relating to the HMNZS Manawanui and Yvonne
Gray for the year 2025. Specifically, I request any and all written,
electronic, and other communications, including but not limited to emails,
letters, memos, meeting notes, or any other relevant documents, between
the following individuals:

 

Judith Collins, Minister of Defence

Rear Admiral Garin Golding, Chief of Navy Chris Luxon, Prime Minister The
timeframe for these communications should cover all correspondence during
the year 2025.

 

To clarify, I am seeking:

 

Any discussions regarding the operational status, maintenance, deployment,
or any other operational matters concerning the HMNZS Manawanui.

Any communications related to Yvonne Gray in connection with the HMNZS
Manawanui (e.g., roles, decisions, reports, or contributions).

Any planning, decision-making, or policy related to the vessel or
individuals that involve the Ministry of Defence, the New Zealand Navy, or
the Prime Minister's Office.

Any advice, reports, or recommendations from or to these individuals
regarding the HMNZS Manawanui or Yvonne Gray.

If possible, I would appreciate it if the documents could be provided
electronically.

 

If you require any clarification or if some of the requested information
is exempt under the Official Information Act, please let me know as soon
as possible.

 

Thank you for your time and consideration of this request. I look forward
to receiving the information within the statutory 20 working-day period.
