Our Reference:
FOI 152-2020
24 August 2020
Dear Mr Sweeney
Freedom of Information Request No. 152-2020
Request deemed withdrawn under Section 24AB of the Act
I refer to three (3) requests you sent to ASIC dated between 26 July 2020 and 28 July
2020, seeking access to documents under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (
FOI Act).
The three FOI requests to which this notice relates are described in the
attached schedule.
On 10 August 2020, I sent you a notice under section 24AB of the FOI Act. The notice
advised you that the three FOI requests may be treated as a single request under
section 24(2) of the FOI Act because the subject matter of the three requests were the
same or substantial y the same. The notice also advised you that a practical refusal
reason existed in relation to your request because your request did not provide
information reasonably necessary to al ow me to identify the documents sought by
your request.
Deemed withdrawal
This letter is further to the notice to identify documents under section 24AB of the FOI
Act I sent you on 10 August 2020. The notice advised you that you were required to
contact me before the end of the consultation period to either:
(a) withdrawn the request;
(b) made a revised request; or
(c) indicate that you do not wish to revise the request.
The notice advised you that the consultation period ended 14 days after the date of
the letter under sections 24AB(6) and 24AB(7) of the FOI Act. Therefore, the consultation
period for the practical refusal notice ended at close of business 24 August 2020.

2
As you did not take any of the actions mentioned above within the consultation period,
your request is now deemed withdrawn under sections 24AB(6) and 24AB(7) of the FOI
Act.
You remain welcome to resubmit your request at any time, taking into account the
issues I raised in the noticed dated 10 August 2020.
If you have any questions or wish to discuss, please contact me at
xxxxxxx.xxxx@xxxx.xxx.xx.
Yours sincerely
