New Zealand's intended contribution to the new global climate change agreement

Simon Johnson made this Official Information request to Ministry for the Environment

The request was partially successful.

From: Simon Johnson

Dear Ministry for the Environment,

I have read with interest the version of the cabinet paper "New Zealand's intended contribution to the new global climate change agreement" dated June 2015 that was available for download from the Ministry of the Environment's website.
However I find it hard to understand the logic of the paper given it has 41 blanked-out redactions.

Will you please provide me with a copy that has no redactions? Thank you.

It is my understanding that requests for cabinet papers are very often transferred to the relevant Minister's office. Given that knowledge, I initially made the same request for official information to the Minister for Climate Change Issues the Hon Tim Grocer on 22 July 2015. I made the request via the www.fyi.org.nz website.

I have received no response or acknowledgement from the Minister's office. So you may like to raise the issue with him.

I confirm I am a New Zealand citizen.

Yours faithfully,

Simon Johnson

This was a duplicate of this request https://fyi.org.nz/request/2969-new-zeal... made to Tim Groser on 22 July 2015.
Which was refused and referred to the Ombudsmen's Office. Where it still awaits their attention.
