The Minister refused the request for a copy of the paper produced by her Senior Ministerial Advisor—‘Comparative paper – International comparisons and position advice’ (the Paper). The request was refused under section 9(2)(g)(i) of the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA).
The requester made a complaint to Chief Ombudsman John Allen about this decision.
