Sex Offender Register Proposal
Joshua Grainger made this Official Information request to New Zealand Police
The request was partially successful.
From: Joshua Grainger
Dear New Zealand Police,
Last year I requested under the Official Information Act from the Police information related to a proposal for a sex offender register. This information was withheld following the results of an inquiry into a convicted sex offender. The correspondence for this earlier request can be viewed at http://fyi.org.nz/request/191/response/2...
This inquiry has now been carried out and a final report issued (http://www.minedu.govt.nz/theMinistry/Em...). Due to this I would like to request the documents again, as the ground used to previously withhold the documents no longer applies.
Specifically, I would like to request the following documents identified in the previous response regarding sex offender registration:
* a briefing to the Minister of Police dated 21/03/12
* a Police research paper, which was in draft form at the time of my request
* two emails dated 28/03 and 04/04 from the Police to the Minister of Police
* an email to the Department of Corrections dated 03/04
* an email to the Ministry of Justice dated 07/04
* an email to the Ministry of Education dated 18/04
Feel free to contact me if you wish me to clarify my request.
Yours faithfully,
Joshua Grainger
New Zealand Police
