Over on Kikorangi Newsroom's Marc Daalder has published his annual OIA stats. So I thought I'd do mine:
- 82 OIA requests sent in 2024
- 7 posts based on those requests
- 20 average working days to receive a response
- Ministry of Justice was my most-requested entity, with 7 requests (mostly about secrecy clauses)
- Of 74 requests which have received responses: 41 received responses before the due date, 22 on the due date, and 11 were late (8 are still pending, but none of them are due till January).
I also have stats on my complaints to the Ombudsman:
- 28 complaints filed in 2024
- 22 complaints resolved in 2024 (17 from 2024, the others from earlier years)
- 186 days on average for a resolution
- Of the 22 resolved complaints, 15 were successful, 4 partially successful, 1 unsuccessful, and 2 were withdrawn.
- 1 complaint resulted in a published casenote.
- Every "process" complaint (delays, extensions, charging) filed was successful.
The big question is whether any of those successful complaints will result in the agencies concerned changing their behaviour...
