Answer

In my capacity as Prime Minister, I am the responsible minister for the Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (DPMC). I am advised that DPMC officials have not received the document. The document is publicly available on the following website: Smith v Fonterra (et al) - Fonterra’s case for legislative change to Climate Change Response Act
