Dear Jason John Blake
Freedom of Information Request - Decision
I refer to your request to the Department of the Treasury (the
Treasury) on 16 December 2019 for access
under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the
FOi Act) to the following:
I required the documents of Financial Reports showing the revenue in the Consolidated Revenue Fund
for the Commonwealth of Australia in accordance with the;
Commonwealth of Australia Constitution Act Chapter IV- Finance And Trade
81. All revenues or moneys raised or received by the Executive Government of the Commonwealth
shall form one Consolidated Revenue Fund, to be appropriated for the purposes of the Commonwealth
in the manner and subject to the charges and liabilities imposed by this Constitution.
I required reports dating from 1966 until 2018/2019 financial years.
The reason for this is as an informed registered elector, I must determine the fiscal policy claims by the
Executive Parliament and be able to question my Federal Member on amounts collected against
Budget claims.
I also require the document that was the Ministers and Secretaries decision to list COMMONWEALTH
OF AUSTRALIA as a Corporation on the United States Securities and Exchange Commission. To be
accompanied with all financial reports where payments are paid into the Consolidated Revenue Fund
from COMMONWEAL TH OF AUSTRALIA Corporation (US).
I am an authorised decision maker under section 23 of the FOi Act.
Decision
The Treasury holds no documents within the scope of your request. I am therefore refusing your request
under section 24A(l) of the FOi Act.
I arranged for officers in my division to search Treasury records for material relevant to your request. I am
satisfied that no such documents exist.
