Dear J Roskim
I acknowledge receipt of your correspondence dated 14 February 2022, in which you requested
access to documents under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act)
. Your request for
documents was framed in the fol owing way:
‘…Under the FOI Act, I seek a copy of any document that is an email or that is
attached to an email, created from 1 January 2019 onwards, that constitutes a
public interest disclosure lodged with the Office of the Commonwealth
Ombudsman in respect of conduct engaged, or al eged to have been engaged, in,
by Phil Gaetjens. I also seek a copy of any document that is an email or that is
attached to an email, created from 1 January 2019 onwards, that relates to
conduct engaged in by Phil Gaetjens and that has been provided to the Office of
the Commonwealth Ombudsman pursuant s.50A(1) of the Public Interest
Disclosure Act 2013…’
There may be multiple copies of identical documents on our files. Unless you advise us you wish to
receive multiple copies, we will only consider and make a decision on one copy of each identical
document.
You should expect a decision from us within 30 days from the date we received your FOI request.
This 30 day period may be extended if we need to consult third parties, impose a charge (a fee for
processing your request) or for other reasons. We wil let you know if this happens.
If you have any questions, you may contact me via email at
