Dear Eliza
Acknowledgement of Freedom of Information Request The purpose of this letter is to acknowledge receipt of your
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) request
that the eSafety Commissioner (eSafety) received on 29 March 2021.
You lodged the below FOI request with eSafety:
‘All emails between 01/01/2021 and now (29/03/2021) relating to Andrew Laming and ministerial social
media conduct.’
I understand your request is for all emails between 01/01/2021 and 29/03/2021 relating to Andrew Laming and
his social media conduct.
I understand your request does not include news or media articles and other publicly available information.
eSafety will begin processing your request pursuant to this understanding.
Charges The processing charges which eSafety is entitled to charge are prescribed in the
Freedom of Information
(Charges) Regulations 2019. These charges include:
• searching and retrieving ($15 per hour)
• making a decision on access ($20 per hour after the first five hours, which are for free)
• photocopying a written document (10 cents per page)
• making a copy of a written document other than a photocopy ($4.40 per page)
• postage or delivery (an amount not exceeding cost of postage or delivery)
• transcribing ($4.40 per page)
• supervising, if the applicant wishes to inspect ($6.25 per half an hour, or part thereof).
eSafety will, in accordance with section 29 of the FOI Act, advise you if you are liable to pay any charge and
provide a preliminary assessment of those charges.
Timeframe for processing eSafety received your request on 29 March 2021 and the 30-day statutory period for processing your request
commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a decision regarding your request by 28
April 2021, unless the timeframe is extended under the FOI Act. The period of 30 days may be extended if we
need to consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.
