Kia Ora,

Thank you for contacting Hon Grant Robertson, the Minister of Finance,
Minister for Sport and Recreation, Associate Minister for Arts, Culture
and Heritage and MP for Wellington Central. The Minister considers all
correspondence important and appreciates you taking the time to write.
Please note that as Minister Robertson receives a large amount of
correspondence it is not always possible to personally reply to all
emails.

The following guidelines apply:

* Invitations and requests to meet with the Minister will be processed
as soon as possible and a staff member will be in contact with you in
due course

* All media queries will be responded to by a staff member.

* Requests for official information 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 email falls outside of the Minister’s portfolio
responsibilities, expresses a personal view, or is copied to multiple
Members of Parliament, then your opinion will be noted and your
correspondence may be transferred to another office, or there may be
no further response to you.

* If your correspondence is to the Minister as the Member of Parliament
for Wellington Central, this will be referred to his electorate
office.

Dear Joss J,

I refer to your official information request dated 20 November 2018 for the following information:

1. Please supply the "TVNZ Archive Collection Report" that was supposed to be supplied to the Minister before 30 June 2018 by Nga Taonga Sound & Vision. (According to the Ministry for Culture and Heritage it was still being finalized in October).

2. Please supply all briefings you have received relating to Nga Taonga from 1 May 2018 onwards.

3. With reference to NALI material that you have received. Please supply the summaries authored by the DIA of submissions relating to Nga Taonga. Please also supply any recommendations made by the DIA relating to Nga Taonga.

I have transferred the first part of your request for the "TVNZ Archive Collection Report" to the Ministry for Culture and Heritage which holds this information. Please note, the report which you have requested has never been received by Hon Grant Robertson or his office.

In these circumstances, I am required by section 14 of the OIA to transfer your request.

You will hear further from the Ministry for Culture and Heritage concerning that part of your request.

Kind regards

Oliver

Dear Joss J,

I refer to your request under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA), dated 20 November 2018 for the following information:

• Please supply all briefings you have received relating to Ngā Taonga from 1 May 2018 onwards.
• With reference to NALI material that you have received. Please supply the summaries authored by the DIA of submissions relating to Ngā Taonga. Please also supply any recommendations made by the DIA relating to Ngā Taonga.

The OIA requires that we advise you of our decision on your request no later than 20 working days after the day we received your request. Unfortunately, it will not be possible to meet that time limit and we are therefore writing to notify you of an extension of the time to make our decision.

This extension is necessary because consultations necessary to make a decision on your request are such that a proper response cannot reasonably be made within the original time limit.

This extension has been made under section 15A(1)(b) of the OIA. You can expect to receive a response to your request by 25 January.

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 www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or free phone 0800 802 602.

Kind regards

Kristen
