Submissions are public information

Any submission you make becomes public information. Anyone can ask for copies of all submissions under the Official Information Act 1982 (OIA). The OIA says we must make the information available unless there is a good reason for withholding it. You can find those grounds in sections 6 and 9 of the OIA.

Tell us if you think there are grounds to withhold specific information in your submission. Reasons might include if it is commercially sensitive or personal information. Any decision MPI makes to withhold information can, however, be reviewed by the Ombudsman, who may require the information be released.
