Tēnā koe Tania,
Please find attached a follow up letter, sent on behalf of Hon. James
Shaw, in relation to your below OIA request.
Since we provided you with the third final tranche of documents relating
to this OIA request last year, MfE officials have identified three further
documents in scope of your request. These are outlined in the attached
letter. I apologise that these were not included in the original batch of
material released. Two out of the three documents are already publicly
available so we have provided you with website links for these documents.
The third document is being released to you today in the attached letter.
This letter has also been added to the online Databox we previously set up
for you.
Please do get in touch if you have any trouble accessing these documents.
Many thanks

Subject: Response to your OIA request (OIA219/19-O-00680)
Tēnā koe Tania,
Please find attached a letter providing the third and final batch of
documents in response to your OIA request of 4 April 2019
(OIA219/19-O-00680), which was transferred to the Office of Hon. James
Shaw on 18 April 2019, for:
· Advice to the Minister for Climate Change and the Minister for
the Environment on the range of options considered by the Government to
address greenhouse gas emissions.
· Advice to the Minister for Climate Change and Minister for the
Environment on how failure to address the adverse effects of climate
change may specifically impact Māori and how measures to address climate
change may specifically impact Māori.
· Engagement with Māori conducted by the Ministry and/or Minister
on the Zero Carbon Bill and New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (NZ ETS)
review consultation between April 2018 and March 2019, including
engagement plans and hui minutes.
This third batch of documents covers the period 1 October 2018 – 4 April
2019. I would like to apologise for the significant delay in providing
this third batch of documents to you.
Due to the number and size of the documents in scope, we are releasing the
material via a Databox (a similar approach that was used for the last two
batches). In line with the previous batches, we will also provide Nicole
Smith access to the Databox at the same time. You should both receive an
automated email with the link for access the material shortly. Please do
get in touch with me by email or phone if you have any trouble accessing
the files.
Ngā mihi,
Kate
