Dear Wendy Whittaker
Thank you for your email of 3 December 2018 to the office of Minister Iain Les-Galloway requesting
the following information under the Official Information Act 1982 (the Act):
Any and all correspondence between you or your Ministry or your staff and Culturesafe NZ Ltd or
any of its agents between September 23, 2017 and todtty, November 3, 2018.
Your request was transferred to The Ministry of Business, Innovation and Employment from the office
of the Minister for Workplace Relations and Safety on 5 December 2019.
I am writing to advise you that the Ministry wil provide a response but needs to extend the time
available to answer your request. The Ministry's response will be sent to you no later than 14 March
2019.
The reason for the extension is that consultations necessary to make a decision on the request are such
that a proper response to the request cannot be made within the original time limit.
You have the right to seek an investigation and review by the Ombudsman of our decision to extend
the time limit. Information about how to make a complaint is available at
www.ombudsman.parliament.nz or free phone 0800 802 602.
The Ministry will respond to you sooner if we are able to.
Yours sincerely
Rose Chamberlain
