Mr Ben Fairless

Dear Mr Fairless

I am writing in regards to your request under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act), in which you sought the following documents:

‘…a full copy of the email sent from Angela O'Neill to Linda ROSSITER, Janelle RAINERI, Rowan PATTERSON, Steven HOCKING, and Ashley SMITH with the subject "Cases to be allocated and new processes for RTK detention log requests". This email was sent on Thursday, 15 August 2013’

This email is to notify you that I have made a decision (under s.29(8) of the Act) on your contentions submitted under s.29(4) of the Act that the charge should be reduced or ‘not imposed’. Please see the attached letter for my decision.

How to pay:

The full payment can be paid by cheque, money order, credit card or Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT).

Cheques and money orders should be made payable to "Collector of Public Monies" and sent to:

FOI & Privacy Policy Section

Department of Immigration and Border Protection

PO Box 25

BELCONNEN ACT 2616

AUSTRALIA

If you wish to pay by credit card, please complete the attached credit card authorisation form (CCAF form). Please fill in the amount you wish to pay and sign the form. Please include your departmental reference number (FA14-04-00800) on the form. You may post the hard copy form back to FOI & Privacy Policy section at the above postal address or you may scan the signed form and send the signed scanned form by email to [email address] .

Alternatively, you may pay by making an Electronic Funds Transfer (EFT) directly into to the Department’s bank account. The account details are:

Bank: Commonwealth Bank of Australia

BSB: 062987

Acct No: 10016044

Acct Name: DIBP Official Administered Direct Credit Receipts Account

If you choose to pay by EFT, please use the departmental reference number ‘FA14-04-00800’ as your ‘customer reference number’ when making the payment. This will allow the Department’s Finance unit to identify the payment as an FOI ‘charges’ payment and will ensure that there are no delays in processing your payment and/or finalising your FOI request. It would also assist me if you could advise me when you have made the payment and provide the EFT receipt number. As you may know, when paying by EFT there is generally a delay between payment by the payer and receipt by the payee.

Yours sincerely

Angela O’Neil
