Use of private investigators 2008-to date by MSD.
Rex Landy (Account suspended) made this Official Information request to Ministry of Social Development
The request was refused by Ministry of Social Development.
From: Rex Landy (Account suspended)
Dear Ministry of Social Development,
I have previously written to you asking for copies of correspondence between you and Thompson and Clarke. You wrote back saying there were none, except an email where they tendered for service.
This has been disproved by reading the papers: your dept used T&C to spy on abuse victims. I would like to have copies of correspondence between yourselves and T&C from the years 2008-to date.
Try not to lie this time, perhaps? Not a good look.
Yours faithfully,
Rex Landy

Subject: Official Information request - Use of private investigators
Dear Ministry of Social Development,
I request information regarding the two court cases you used private investigators for that you refuse to release. I am a NZ citizen and request this information as it is in the public interest to know when the government departments you trust have been caught in a lie. The White case was one, there are two other cases I would like to know where you hired investigators.
I would also like to know if one of the cases was Wendy Shoebridge. Surely you remember *her* name? She killed herself after being falsely hounded by MSD for a non-existent debt.
Yours faithfully,
Rex Landy
