Dear Jay Doe
I refer to your email dated 13 October 2018 in which you request access to documents held by
the Department of Home Affairs (Department) under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the
FOI Act).
You have requested access to:
'
Department's guidance material on FOI Act (as mentioned in decision records).'
On 7 November 2018, Department notified you of a requirement to pay a processing charge of
15 in respect of your request.
In particular, Department notified you that, within 30 days of receipt of that letter, you must
either:
agree to pay the charge; or
contend that the charge has been wrongly assessed, should be reduced, or should not
be imposed; or
withdraw the request.
Department notified you that if, within 30 days of receipt of that letter, you failed to notify
Department of one of the above matters, your request would be considered to have been
withdrawn.
The 30 day period has now expired and Department does not appear to have heard from you in
response to that Notice. As such, in accordance with section 29 of the FOI Act, Department
considers that your request has been withdrawn.
