Kia ora,
Hon Chris Bishop considers all correspondence to be important and
appreciates you taking the time to write.  As the Minister receives a
large amount of correspondence, it is not always possible to personally
reply to each email. As such the following guidelines apply:

* Invitations and meeting requests will be processed as soon as
possible.  However, due to the high volume of invitations the Minister
receives, it can take us some time to process your invitation.  We
thank you for your patience. 
* Requests for official information (OIAs) will be managed in accordance
with the provisions of the Official Information Act 1982, which may
include transfer to a more relevant Minister or agency.
* If your request relates to media, it will be referred to the media
team.
* If your email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, your correspondence will be noted and/or
transferred to another office.
* Latest information from the Beehive can be found here:

If you are a resident in the Hutt South electorate, please email
[2][email address] and one of his team will be in touch.
