Dear Mr Bacon 
 
RE: Application for documents under the Commonwealth Freedom of Information Act 1982 
 
I refer to your Freedom of Information request received on 3 October 2016 in which you seek 
access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (“FOI Act”).  You have requested 
the fol owing from Australia Post: 
 
 
 “…the latest document…that describes or reviews [Australia Post’s] policy for tracking, monitoring 
or intercepting mail to specific groups or individuals]. ...” 
 
I am informed by Australia Post’s General Manager, Corporate Security Group that Australia Post 
does not have any documents pertaining to your request.  Australia Post does not track or monitor 
for the purpose of intercepting mail to specific groups or individuals but wil  al ow Commonwealth 
and State law enforcement agencies to undertake these activities upon application.  Accordingly if 
such documents exist, they would be held by those external agencies. 
 
Decision 
 
Having taken al  reasonable steps to find documents relating to your request, I am satisfied that 
no such document exists.  Accordingly pursuant to s.24A of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 
your request for documents is refused.
