Good afternoon Craig,

Thank you for your request (included below). The information you have requested is not held by the Department of Internal Affairs, but by the Ministry of Justice.

I have consulted with the Ministry of Justice to check whether your request might be transferred, however they have refused transfer in this case as they are already in the process of responding to you on two similar requests. I am advised that the advisor leading those requests has been informed of your request below and will mention it in their response

Therefore I must refuse your request under section 18(g) of the Act, as the information you have requested is not held by the Department of Internal Affairs and I am not aware of another responder that may hold the information to whom your request could be transferred.

You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of this decision. Information about how to make a complaint is available at http://www.ombudsman.parliament.nz/ or Freephone 0800 802 602.

Nāku noa, nā
