Third Party Review
As part of my decision-making process, I consulted with third parties seeking their submissions as to
whether the Relevant Documents attracted an exemption under the FOI Act.
Disclosure log
Section 11C of the FOI Act requires that the documents released under section 11A are published
unless it would be unreasonable to do so.
I have determined that it is not unreasonable to publish these documents. These documents wil be
published on t
he Freedom of Information (FOI) Disclosure Log - Australian Electoral Commission within
10 business days.
Review rights
You are entitled to seek review of this decision. At achment C sets out your rights to apply for review if
you are dissatisfied with my decision.
Yours sincerely
