Exemplary OIA performance by NZTA News. The next best thing to open data.

Our advice for using your right to official information responsibly during the COVID-19 pandemic can be summed up as: be kind. meta.fyi.org.nz/news/kindness-…

We are temporarily unable to accept new requests or send emails such as notifications. Responses are still being received and published. We hope to have this resolved soon.

Thank you for your meme received 25 July. 20 working days later, we are writing to advise you we have decided to withhold in full our joke about the Official Information Act.

Welcome to Twitter, Ombudsman!

Deaf Aotearoa and Ombudsman NZ would like to receive stories from deaf people of their experiences using the OIA to anonymously include as examples in a new NZSL guide. Thread with details below. ⤵

Access to official information should not depend on who you are, who you work for, whether you're a journalist, or even why you want the information and what you intend to do with it.

Congratulations to all the Ministers and Parliamentary Under-Secretaries sworn in last Friday. Today the new email addresses were revealed, so now all can be sent Official Information Act requests: fyi.org.nz/body/list/mini…
