From: MCMAHON, Teresa
New Zealand Police
I refer to your request dated 22 October 2012 asking for information about
police manuals and other documentation.
Section 12(1) of the Official Information Act 1982 states that:
"Any person, being—
(a)A New Zealand citizen; or
(b)A permanent resident of New Zealand; or
(c)A person who is in New Zealand; or
(d)A body corporate which is incorporated in New Zealand; or
(e)A body corporate which is incorporated outside New Zealand but which
has a place of business in New Zealand,—
may request a Department or Minister of the Crown or organisation to make
available to him or it any specified official information".
Police therefore asks that you provide an address or other advice to show
you satisfy section 12 of the Official Information Act.
Police will then make a decision on your information request.
Thank you.

Dear MCMAHON, Teresa,
As I clearly stated in my OIA request. I am an NZ citizen and in NZ living on the North Shore in Auckland. The primary reason of using FYI.org.nz is to remain anonymous. I'm completely in my rights as a New Zealand citizen to withhold my real name and address in regards to making a OIA request.
I hope this isn't a tendency to game the system and delay the process of my OIA request. If this is the case I will not hesitate to make a complaint to the Office of the Ombudsman.
Yours sincerely,
woody

Given that the requester has stated that they are a citizen and resident in NZ, asking them for proof without any evidence to the contrary is prima facie unreasonable.
