ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS UNDER THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT 1982
I refer to your email dated 19 February 2022 seeking access to documents under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (the Act). Your request was as follows:
Documents and Information relating to geo-engineering aerosol programs being conducted in
Australia between the years January 2019 to current date.
All other information including, but not limited to, actual patents on the types of aerosols,
patents on the delivery systems, military and other NGO’s official papers discussing geo-
engineering and weather manipulation.
Decision
I am the decision maker for your request.
In accordance with subparagraph 24A(1)(b)(ii) of the Act, I refuse your request for access as
I am satisfied that the document you are seeking does not exist. I note that the subject matter
of your access request is outside of the Civil Aviation Safety Authority’s (CASA) jurisdiction.
Therefore, CASA does not hold documents within the scope of your access request.
