Dear Jay
Withdrawal of freedom of information request
I refer to your email dated 31 March 2021 in which you request access, under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth), to:
‘Please provide information pertaining to communications between ACCC and the
liquidators Limni enterprises.
This information may include;
Notes, emails, advice, or recordings of sorts arising out of the interactions between
the ACCC and Limni enterprises.
As you have not agreed to pay the charges or provided notice as required under s.29
of the FOI Act, your FOI request is withdrawn.
In our letter of 9 April 2021, we advised you of the cost estimate for processing your
request. More than 30 days has elapsed since we sent that letter and we have not
received a response from you.
Section 29 of the FOI Act states:
(1)
Where, under the regulations, an agency or Minister decides that an applicant
is liable to pay a charge in respect of a request for access to a document, or
the provision of access to a document, the agency or Minister must give to the
applicant a written notice stating:
(a) that the applicant is liable to pay a charge; and …
(f) that the applicant must, within the period of 30 days, or such further
period as the agency or Minister allows, after the notice was given,
notify the agency or Minister in writing:
(i) of the applicant's agreement to pay the charge; or
(i ) if the applicant contends that the charge has been wrongly assessed,
or should be reduced or not imposed, or both — that the applicant so
contends, giving the applicant’s reasons for so contending; or

(i i) that the applicant withdraws the request for access to the document
concerned; and
(g) that if the applicant fails to give the agency or Minister such a notice within
that period or further period, the request for access to the document will be
taken to have been withdrawn.
Yours sincerely
