Thank you for taking the time to contact Hon Brooke van Velden, MP for
Tâmaki, Minister of Internal Affairs, and Minister for Workplace Relations
and Safety.  
 
While the Minister considers all correspondence to be important, and all
messages are carefully read and considered, she receives a large volume of
emails and it is not always possible to provide a personal response.  
 
The following guidelines apply:  

* Where the Minister has portfolio responsibility for the issues that
you have raised, your correspondence will be considered and responded
to where appropriate.  This email serves as an acknowledgement that
your message has been received and will be dealt with in line with
these guidelines. Please note that if your correspondence requires a
response, we endeavour to reply within 20 working days.  
* If you are a Tâmaki resident, your email will be passed to the
Minister’s electorate office. You can get in touch with them directly
by emailing: [1][email address]  
* If your message expresses a personal view or is for advice, or if you
have copied your email to another Minister and/or Member of Parliament
with more appropriate portfolio responsibilities, then your message
will be noted.  
* If your message falls within the portfolio responsibilities of another
Minister not copied into your email, it will be transferred as
appropriate.  
* If your message is better responded to by an agency or department, it
may be transferred as necessary, in which case you will hear from a
staff member at the responsible agency or department directly in due
course.  
* If you have invited the Minister to an event or meeting, it will be
processed as such and go to the Minister for consideration. This email
serves as an acknowledgement that we have received your invitation and
will get back to you as soon as there is an outcome.  
* If you have made a request for official information, then this will be
managed in accordance with the provisions of the Official Information
Act 1982 
* If you have made a media request, it will be passed to our Press
Secretary. 

Please note that correspondence a Minister receives is subject to the
Official Information Act (the Act). If you have written to the Minister
about her Ministerial portfolio, it is possible the contents of your
message may be captured by an Official Information Act request and
publicly released according to the provisions of the Act.
