Dear David Lawson
On behalf of Gabriel Makhlouf, Secretary to the Treasury, I acknowledge receipt of
your email, details included below:
“I am writing to respectfully request the provision of all official information that the
Treasury holds in respect of the sale of the previously owned Crown Entity
FairWay Resolution Limited, into private ownership, lead by the FairWay
Resolution Limited Management team. I welcome your provision to me of all
official information, including advice provided by, and or to the Treasury to and
from any and all parties associated with the sale of FairWay Resolution Limited
out of crown ownership that both proceeded the sale and or came into existence
following the sale of FairWay Resolution Limited.
I would expect that such information will be sourced from, but not solely limited to
the official information generated from Treasury's dealings with FairWay
Resolution Limited, The Minister/s for ACC, the Finance Ministers and MBIE,
together with all other parties which I may not mentioned and for which official
information in relation to the sale of FairWay Resolution Limited applies and is
held by Treasury.
I would also appreciate you providing to me within my request a copy of
Treasury's "Cost Benefit Analysis associated directly with the proposed sale of
Crown Owned FairWay Resolution Limited, inclusive of Treasury's
suggested/indicated sale premium for the purchase" that was completed prior to
the sale of the Crown Owned FairWay Resolution Limited into private ownership
for which any and all advice was provided by Treasury to any and all third parties
associated with, or affected by the sale of FairWay Resolution Limited into
privacy ownership.
I would also welcome confirmation as to whether the Treasury factored into any
advice upon the sale of FairWay Resolution Limited any social and natural justice
rights of what ACC claimants stood to gain and or lose from the removal of
FairWay Resolution Limited from Crown Ownership, including whether Treasury
was aware that as a consequence of the sale of FairWay off the government
books that FairWay Resolution Limited would claim that they no longer
answerable to the statutory obligations of the Official Information Act 1982, for
which they were required to comply with prior to the sale of the entity to a non
crown owned private interest.”
Your request was received by the Treasury on 26 April 2018 and will be dealt with in
accordance with the provisions of the Official Information Act.
The Treasury will not publish your personal contact details or use the information for
any reason other than processing your request. The personal information you provide
will be subject to the requirements of the Privacy Act 1993 and the Official Information
Act 1982.
Yours sincerely
Liam McCabe
Ministerial Advisor
