I refer to your email pf 16 April 2021 in which you request the following under the Official
Information Act 1982 (OIA):
“…What are the collective salaries of all MFAT staff working remotely from their overseas
posts measured by each country during the period March 2020 to April 2021”?”
This letter advises that, due to the necessity for further consultation and review, we will need
to extend the time limit for responding to you by 20 working days, to 15 June 2021. If this
process is completed and we are able to respond before 15 June 2021, the response will be

You have the right under section 28(3) of the OIA to seek a review of this response by the
