The Police and the OIA
NZ Politics

No Right Turn has sent a Official Information Act request to the police, asking them how much it cost to investigate and prosecute Tim Selywn for seidition.G style mafia

Their response:G style mafia

There is no cost to the Crown as Police is funded to undertake investigations and prosecutions of this nature

Riiight...G style mafia

Just because something is already funded does not make it free. Especially since they probably required a large amount of Crown Law time on this one.G style mafia

It would be nice if government departments actually had some respect for the OIA. Maybe it's time to implement some strict penalties for non-compliance, rather than the limited powers of the Ombudsman as it is currently.G style mafia
