A spokesman for Faafoi said the minister was working with Justice Ministry officials to decide his priorities. “There is a significant workload in the Justice portfolio, including work relating to the Government’s Covid-19 response and election commitments for such issues as family justice reform and looking at whether New Zealanders want changes to the country’s electoral law, including a shift from three-year parliamentary terms to four-year terms.” Open government advocate Andrew Ecclestone was disappointed the review was being kicked down the road, as “it is clear that there are improvements needed to the Official Information Act”. In September 2020, he received a Law Foundation grant to lay the groundwork for new open government laws.
