Subject: RE: Request for s.15AA extension of Time – FA 14/04/00565 [SEC=UNCLASSIFIED]
Dear Janelle,
I consent to a 14 day extension.
On another point, I would respectfully suggest it seems to be standard operating procedure for the Department to request extensions of time to deal with requests. May I respectfully suggest that the Department arrange for the appropriate resources to process FOI requests as my patience with granting extensions is disappearing rapidly.
Yours sincerely,
Ben Fairless
