Ministry of Justice OIA release of information on political donations

The Ministry of Justice has released a copy of the public submissions on the Government’s proposed political donation law reforms – see here: OIA 96540 – Edwards 1 July 2022. This information was requested in early April under the Official Information Act, and was finally provided this month. Note the letter from the Ministry of Justice at the start of the file refers to the date of “27 May”, as this was when my correspondence finally used the words “Official Information Act”, meaning that they only then (erroneously) regarded my request as applying to them under the legislation.
