Dear J M
The Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act) does not authorise a
Commonwealth entity to transfer an FOI request to a State or Territory entity. It is open
to you to make a request to the relevant State or Territory entity.
Please advise by COB Thursday 12 November 2020, whether you would like the
department to treat the following comment in your email below as a new FOI request
under the FOI Act:
I will now require ALL communications pertinent to this request. This includes,
but is not limited to: internal/external messages & emails, transcripts, phone
conversations, etc.

Dear FOI,
You have sent me the exact same information. This In my last inquiry, I very clearly stated:
FOI 2245
1 of 3
DOCUMENT 15
"If any or all of the above are not available to this department, I would respectfully ask that you
transfer this request to the most relevant department."
Under section 19 of the FOIA act, it is not unreasonable to expect the department of health to
transfer this request to the most relevant department of which this request can be actioned.
You have chosen not to transfer this request.
The implication of this outcome as such has me wondering why the Department of Health has
not done ANY statistical analysis of COVID-19 deaths.
Which department is able to action my request? Please transfer this request to them.
I will ask this next question as clearly and articulated as I can, and I do requilest a formal
response:
Has the department of Health done ANY statistical analysis of COVID-19 deaths?
THE
Lastly, as a result of the outcome of this request:
I will now require ALL communications pertinent to this request. This includes, but is not limited
(CTH)
to: internal/external messages & emails, transcripts, phone conversations, etc.
