Authority to make decision
I am an officer authorised under section 23 of the FOI Act to make decisions in respect of
requests to access documents or to amend or annotate records.
3
Relevant material
In reaching my decision I referred to the following:
the terms of your request
the documents relevant to the request
the FOI Act
Guidelines published by the Office of the Information Commissioner under section 93A
of the FOI Act (the FOI Guidelines)
advice from Departmental officers with responsibility for matters relating to the
documents to which you sought access
4
Documents in scope of request
The Department has identified 44 documents as falling within the scope of your request.
These documents were in the possession of the Department on 2 September 2020 when
your request was received.
Attachment A is a schedule which describes the relevant documents and sets out my
decision in relation to each of them.
5 Decision
The decision in relation to the documents in the possession of the Department which fall
within the scope of your request is as follows:
Release 44 documents in part with deletions
6
Reasons for Decision
Detailed reasons for my decision are set out below.
Where the schedule of documents indicates an exemption claim has been applied to a
document or part of document, my findings of fact and reasons for deciding that the
exemption provision applies to that information are set out below.
6.1 Section 22 of the FOI Act – irrelevant to request
Section 22 of the FOI Act provides that if giving access to a document would disclose
information that would reasonably be regarded as irrelevant to the request, it is possible for
the Department to prepare an edited copy of the document, modified by deletions, ensuring
that the edited copy would not disclose any information that would reasonably be regarded
as irrelevant to the request.
On 05 June 2020, the Department advised you that its policy is to exclude the personal
details of officers not in the Senior Executive Service (SES), as well as the mobile and work
telephone numbers of SES staff, contained in documents that fall within scope of an FOI
request.
- 3 –
I have decided that parts of documents marked ‘s22(1)(a)(ii)’ would disclose information
that could reasonably be regarded as irrelevant to your request. I have prepared an edited
copy of the documents, with the irrelevant material deleted pursuant to section 22(1)(a)(ii)
of the FOI Act.
The remainder of the documents have been considered for release to you as they are
relevant to your request.
6.2 Section 33 of the FOI Act – Documents affecting National Security, Defence or
International Relations
Section 33(a)(i) of the FOI Act permits exemption of a document if disclosure of the
document would, or could reasonably be expected to cause damage to the security of the
Commonwealth.
For the reasons set out below, I consider that there are real and substantial grounds for
expecting that the disclosure of the documents exempted under section 33(a)(i) would
cause damage to the security of the Commonwealth.
Security
‘Security’ is a concept with a fluctuating content which can depend upon the circumstances
as they exist from time to time.1 ‘Security of the Commonwealth’ is defined in section 4(5)
of the FOI Act as follows
(5)
Without limiting the generality of the expression security of the Commonwealth,
that expression shall be taken to extend to:
(a)
matters relating to the detection, prevention or suppression of activities,
whether within Australia or outside Australia, subversive of, or hostile to, the
interests of the Commonwealth or of any country allied or associated with
the Commonwealth; and …
I also consider that the definition of ‘security’ in the
Australian Security and Intelligence
Organisation Act 1979 is relevant.2 That Act defines ‘security’ as:
(a)
The protection of, and of the people of, the Commonwealth and the
several States and Territories from:
(i) Espionage
(ii) Sabotage
(iii) Politically
motivated
violence
(iv)
Promotion of communal violence
(v)
Attacks on Australia’s defence system; or
(vi)
Acts of foreign interference;
Whether directed from, or committed within, Australia or not; and
(aa) the protection of Australia’s territorial and border integrity from
serious threats; and

2 See
Stats and National Archives of Australia [2010] AATA 531 at [99].
- 4 –
(b)
The carrying out of Australia’s responsibilities to any foreign country
in relation to a matter mentioned in any of the subparagraphs of
paragraph (a) or the matter mentioned in paragraph (aa).
Paragraph (aa) is particularly on point. It was inserted by the
Anti-People Smuggling and
Other Measures Act 2010 (Cth) (Schedule 2). The Explanatory Memorandum for the
Anti-
People Smuggling and Other Measures Bill 2010 (Cth), states that ‘
serious threats to
Australia’s territorial and border integrity’ include ‘
those posed by people smuggling
activities’ (at 2-3).
Operation Sovereign Borders
The Department is part of a whole-of-government response to border protection issues that
has been established through Operation Sovereign Borders (OSB). OSB is a military-led,
border security initiative supported and assisted by a wide range of federal government
agencies. The OSB Joint Agency Task Force (JATF) has been established to ensure a
whole-of-government effort aimed at combating maritime people smuggling and protecting
Australia's borders.
OSB was established on 18 September 2013 and has successfully reduced the number of
illegal maritime ventures to Australia and prevented loss of life at sea. Australia remains
committed to ending the criminal activity of people smuggling. It aims to ensure that
Australia has effective control of the circumstances in which people enter Australia.
The JATF is supported by three main lines of effort:
Disruption and Deterrence—led by the Australian Federal Police and
Response and Returns—led by this Department, which includes the Australian Border
Force (ABF) and MBC
Regional Processing and Resettlement- led by this Department.
Vessel tasks
The vessels referred to in the documents are engaged in a range of operations on behalf
of the Australian Government, patrolling waters off the Australian coast. In undertaking
that work the vessels are under the direction of Maritime Border Command (MBC). MBC
is Australia’s lead maritime law enforcement agency. It brings together officers from the
Department and the Department of Defence (Defence) as a joint multi-agency taskforce to
identify and respond to illegal activity in Australia’s Maritime Jurisdiction (the AMJ). The
vessels include Australian Navy vessels, MBC vessels and civilian vessels contracted to
the Department.
The vessels are responsible for a number of functions, including in relation to:
illegal exploitation of natural resources;
illegal activity in protected areas;
illegal maritime arrivals;
prohibited imports and exports;
maritime
terrorism;
piracy, robbery or violence at sea;
compromise to biosecurity; and
marine
pollution.
- 5 –
In respect of these areas of responsibility, the vessels and their crew have a range of
functions and powers including:
patrolling Australia’s Maritime Jurisdiction (AMJ);
surveillance and intelligence gathering;
detaining and inspecting vessels suspected of illegal activity within the AMJ;
taking control of vessels or directing them to take particular action, including leaving
the AMJ or sailing under the Australian vessel’s watch to a designated destination;
and
where necessary, destroying craft which pose a risk to Australia (such as craft which
are infected with biohazardous organisms, or craft engaged in maritime terrorism).
For a document (or part of a document) to be exempt under s 33(a)(i), I must be satisfied
that, on the balance of probabilities, disclosure would, or could reasonably be expected to,
cause damage to the security of the Commonwealth.
I consider that the disclosure of the information contained within the document that I regard
as exempt under s 33(a)(i) could cause damage to the security of the Commonwealth by
compromising operational functions, increasing the risk to Australian vessels and
personnel and encouraging illegal activity. I consider the particular damage to the security
of the Commonwealth to be as follows:
(a)
Information within the documents would provide insight into the manner in which
vessels involved in national security operations undertake those functions, including
tactics, training and procedures.
(b)
Australia’s maritime borders are vast. Australia’s maritime domain comprises some
12 million square nautical miles – about 11.5% of the world’s oceans. Australia has
insufficient resources to continuously patrol every possible point of maritime entry
into Australia. Even if the insight afforded is considered to be slight, any reduction
in the efficiency or effectiveness of current operational methods is likely to have
significant consequences given the ever-present challenge of managing such an
enormous jurisdiction with finite resources.
(c)
If the exempt information contained within this Joint Review Report were released,
border protection authorities would be forced to revise current operational
methodology to minimise the harm caused by those disclosures. This is, by
definition, damage to security operations. Current procedures and activities are set
with a view to achieving maximum security outcomes with the available resources.
Any changes required by a need to counter the advantage afforded to vessels or
persons engaging in illegal maritime activities necessarily represents a compromise
to operational effectiveness.
(d)
Increasing the risk to Australian vessels and personnel undertaking border
protection work. Patrolling and protecting Australia’s AMJ is an inherently
dangerous task. By releasing information that would make the activities of
Australian vessels more predictable, the risk that a person would be willing to, and
successful in, causing harm or damage to Australian vessels or people is increased.
(e)
A significant component of Australia’s border protection strategy is the deterrent
effect of routine patrolling of the AMJ. Persons with an interest in undertaking illegal
activities in the AMJ - and compromising Australia’s border security in the process
- 6 –
- run the risk that they will be detected and intercepted by Australian vessels. By
disclosing information which has the potential, or even creates a perceived
potential, to assist in circumventing those patrol operations, encouragement is given
to those persons that they may be able to more successfully elude border protection
patrol vessels.
(f)
In some cases a people smuggling voyage sets out with the intention of intersecting
with border protection vessels at an early stage. The release of vessel positioning
information is likely to be used by people smugglers to good effect to increase the
confidence of potential passengers in the likelihood of the success of the people
smuggling venture, thereby encouraging more passengers on more voyages.
Given the finite resources available for detecting and dealing with such activities,
this increases the risk that such activities will be successful. This increased risk of
success itself is reasonably expected to damage the security of the Commonwealth.
(g)
The disclosure of the exempt information would likely provide people smuggling
operators with official government information which they could use to manipulate
and convince any potential illegal immigrants to embark on voyages to Australia.
This would be an improper use of the information which may also cause a risk to
human life. To disclose information that indicates the success or otherwise of
ventures may also encourage others to engage in people smuggling activities. I
consider that there is a strong public interest in preventing the potential risk to
human life associated with people smuggling.
As such I have decided that the information marked '
s33(a)(i)" in the document(s) is exempt
from disclosure under section 33(a)(i) of the FOI Act.
6.3 Section 47E of the FOI Act – Operations of Agencies
Section 47E(d) of the FOI Act provides that documents are conditionally exempt if
disclosure would, or could reasonably be expected to, have a substantial adverse effect on
the proper and efficient conduct of the operations of an agency.
I consider that the disclosure of the parts of documents marked ‘
s47E(d)’ would, or could
reasonably be expected to, have a substantial adverse effect on the proper and efficient
conduct of the operations of the Department.
Managing the security and integrity of Australia's borders is integral to the operations of the
Department. Any prejudice to the effectiveness of the operational methods and procedures
used in undertaking that role would result in a substantial adverse effect on the operations
of the Department.
Any disclosure resulting in the prejudice of the effectiveness of the Department’s
operational methods and procedures would result in the need for this Department, and
potentially its law enforcement partners, to change those methods and/or procedures to
avoid jeopardising their future effectiveness.
Access to the conditionally exempt information may be reasonably expected to undermine
the tactical advantage that the Department, and partner border protection agencies,
surveillance and response assets have over people smuggling ventures by providing
operational information about assets engaged in counter-people smuggling operations.
For example, providing the nationality of people on-board different ventures may provide
details to people smugglers regarding the success of their venture.
- 7 –
Please note that the assets concerned are not only engaged in operations concerning
illegal maritime arrivals, but also respond to other maritime security threats such as illegal
fishing and resource exploitation, prohibited imports/exports, piracy, violence at sea, as
well as the prevention of marine pollution and environmental crime.
I am also of the opinion that disclosing this information, and the resulting change to asset
use and assessment methods that would have to occur, would cause those border
protection activities to be less efficient.
I consider that the disclosure of parts of documents marked ‘
s47E(d)’ would, or could
reasonably be expected to, have a substantial adverse effect on the proper and efficient
conduct of the operations of the Department.
I have decided that parts of the documents are conditionally exempt under section 47E(d)
of the FOI Act. Access to a conditionally exempt document must generally be given unless
it would be contrary to the public interest to do so. I have turned my mind to whether
disclosure of the information would be contrary to the public interest, and have included my
reasoning in that regard at paragraph 6.5 below.
6.4 Section 47F of the FOI Act – Personal Privacy
Section 47F of the FOI Act provides that a document is conditionally exempt if its disclosure
under the FOI Act would involve the unreasonable disclosure of personal information of
any person. ‘Personal information’ means information or an opinion about an identified
individual, or an individual who is reasonably identifiable, whether the information or opinion
is true or not, and whether the information or opinion is recorded in a material form or not
(see s 4 of the FOI Act and s 6 of the
Privacy Act 1988).
I consider that disclosure of the information marked 's47F' in the documents would disclose
personal information relating to third parties. The information within the documents would
reasonably identify a person, either through names, bio data or other personal information.
The FOI Act states that, when deciding whether the disclosure of the personal information
would be ‘unreasonable’, I must have regard to four factors set out in s.47F(2) of the
FOI Act. I have therefore considered each of these factors below:
the extent to which the information is well known;
whether the person to whom the information relates is known to be (or to have
been) associated with the matters dealt with in the document;
the availability of the information from publicly available resources;
any other matters that I consider relevant.
The information relating to the third parties is not well known and would only be known to
a limited group of people with a business need to know. As this information is only known
to a limited group of people, the individual(s) concerned is/are not generally known to be
associated with the matters discussed in the document. This information is not available
from publicly accessible sources.
I am satisfied that the disclosure of the information within the documents would involve an
unreasonable disclosure of personal information about a number of individuals.
- 8 –
I have decided that the information referred to above is conditionally exempt under section
47F of the FOI Act. Access to a conditionally exempt document must generally be given
unless it would be contrary to the public interest to do so. I have turned my mind to whether
disclosure of the information would be contrary to the public interest, and have included my
reasoning in that regard at paragraph 6.5 below.
6.5 The public interest – section 11A of the FOI Act
As I have decided that parts of the documents are conditionally exempt, I am now required
to consider whether access to the conditionally exempt information would be contrary to
the public interest (section 11A of the FOI Act).
A part of a document which is conditionally exempt must also meet the public interest test
in section 11A(5) before an exemption may be claimed in respect of that part.
In summary, the test is whether access to the conditionally exempt part of the document
would be, on balance, contrary to the public interest.
In applying this test, I have noted the objects of the FOI Act and the importance of the other
factors listed in section 11B(3) of the FOI Act, being whether access to the document would
do any of the following:
(a)
promote the objects of this Act (including all the matters set out in sections 3 and
3A);
(b)
inform debate on a matter of public importance;
(c)
promote effective oversight of public expenditure;
(d)
allow a person to access his or her own personal information.
Having regard to the above I am satisfied that:
access to the documents would promote the objects of the FOI Act.
the subject matter of the documents does not seem to have a general
characteristic of public importance. The matter has a limited scope and, in my
view, would be of interest to a very narrow section of the public.
no insights into public expenditure will be provided through examination of the
documents.
you do not require access to the documents in order to access your own
personal information.
I have also considered the following factors that weigh against the release of the
conditionally exempt information in the documents:
Disclosure of the parts of the documents that are conditionally exempt under section
47E(d) of the FOI Act could reasonably be expected to prejudice law enforcement
functions and, as a result, the ability of the Department to protect Australia's
borders. I consider there to be a strong public interest in ensuring that the ability of
the Department to conduct its law enforcement functions is not compromised or
- 9 –
prejudiced in any way. I consider that this would be contrary to the public interest
and that this factor weighs strongly against disclosure.
Disclosure of the personal information which is conditionally exempt under section
47F of the FOI Act could reasonably be expected to prejudice the protection of those
individuals' right to privacy.
The Department is committed to complying with its obligations under the
Privacy
Act 1988, which sets out standards and obligations that regulate how the
Department must handle and manage personal information. It is firmly in the public
interest that the Department uphold the rights of individuals to their own privacy and
meets its obligations under the Privacy Act. I consider that non-compliance with the
Department’s statutory obligations concerning the protection of personal
information would be contrary to the public interest and that this factor weighs
strongly against disclosure.
I have also had regard to section 11B(4) which sets out the factors which are irrelevant to
my decision, which are:
a) access to the document could result in embarrassment to the Commonwealth
Government, or cause a loss of confidence in the Commonwealth Government;
b) access to the document could result in any person misinterpreting or
misunderstanding the document;
c) the author of the document was (or is) of high seniority in the agency to which the
request for access to the document was made;
d) access to the document could result in confusion or unnecessary debate.
I have not taken into account any of those factors in this decision.
Upon balancing all of the above relevant public interest considerations, I have concluded
that the disclosure of the conditionally exempt information in the documents would be
contrary to the public interest and it is therefore exempt from disclosure under the FOI Act.
