Website Publication
8. Subject to certain exceptions, s. 11C of the FOI Act requires agencies to publish online any
information released in response to freedom of information requests. This publication is
known as a ‘disclosure log’. The disclosure log requirement does not apply to personal
information about any person if it would be unreasonable to publish the information or to
information about the business, commercial, financial or professional affairs of any person if
publication of that information would be unreasonable. The MPC is not required to consult
you on any decision to publish information that is released to you and the decision to publish
information is not subject to review internally by the MPC or externally by the Australian
Information Commissioner. Any person can however, make a complaint to the Australian
Information Commissioner about how an agency handles an FOI request.
9. I have decided that the information released to you will be published on the MPC’s FOI
disclosure log at https://www.mpc.gov.au/information-publication-scheme/disclosure-log.
