Subject: Re: Consultation - Notice of practical refusal reason under s.24AB of the FOI Act 1982 - FA 21/06/00100 [SEC=OFFICIAL]
From: tungly <[FOI #7367 email]>

Dear Glen,

Thank you for your reply.

As FOI FA 20/08/01424 currently published on Department of Home Affairs website (https://www.homeaffairs.gov.au/foi/files/2020/fa-200801424-document-released.PDF), the fifth point of that request provides the information of number of applicants who attended citizenship ceremonies per month during period 2018-2020. However, the data show just from January 2018 to September 2020. In order to request updated data from that FOI, I would like to seek the information that number during period 1 June 2020 to 1 June 2021.

In summary, I would like to revise my request as

(1) Total number of applicants who were waiting to attend an Australian citizenship ceremony at Brisbane City Council (QLD) as at 02 June 2021.


(2) In follow-up with FOI FA 20/08/01424 currently published on Department of Home Affairs website, I would like to request updated information for number of applicants who attended citizenship ceremonies per month in Brisbane City Council during period 1 June 2020 to 1 June 2021. 

Yours sincerely,

tungly
