Request for copies of all expenses claimed by Race Discrimination Commissioner, Giridharan Sivaraman between 1 January 2024 to 1 September 2025
Dear Australian Human Rights Commission,
Requesting access to information under the Freedom of Information Act 1982
Request for documents about media appointments and copies of diary entries (in relation to external appointments only) from 1 January 2024 to 1 September 2025 of President Hugh de Kretser, Commissioner Lorraine Finlay, and Race Discrimination Commissioner, Giridharan Sivaraman
Yours faithfully,
JayShah2000
Dear JayShah2000
My preliminary assessment of this FOI request indicates there may be a
practical refusal reason as the work involved in processing the request
would substantially and unreasonably divert the resources of the
Commission from its other operations (s 24AA(1)(a)(i) of the FOI Act).
Could you please consider how to reduce the scope of the request in terms
of timeframe, and type of media appointment or external appointment.
Kind regards,
Lara Renton she/her

Dear Lara Renton,
It would "substantially and unreasonably divert the resources of the
Commission from its other operations (s 24AA(1)(a)(i) of the FOI Act)." to obtain the schedule from a Outlook calendar? The software would perform all of the work?
how could you processed this exact same type of FOI request before but now it is a problem???
What do you mean by type of media appointment or external appointment? Do you have separate calendars?
Yours sincerely,
JayShah2000
