Internal review of Freedom of Information request - All supporting documents mentioned in refusal of FOI
22/54

Dear FOI Requests,
I seek an internal review of the FOI 22/85 charges decision on the grounds that fees should not be charged in
this case for multiple reasons, including (but not limited to) the overwhelming applicability of section 4.109 for
(at least) the reasons I identified in my previous email and below.
Be aware that I've filed another FoI for the same original content (list of domains) making clear that I don't care
what source you acquire the list from (since your original rejection was obsequiously based on confidentiality
with 3rd parties). I'm willing to drop this review request and FOI 22/85 if you supply the list (I don't want to
waste your time or appear vexatious - I just want the domain list which was (at least for a decade or more)
published in full in the past: I have no idea why you're fighting so hard to block this formerly-available
information from being made available once again).
I strongly recommend you carefully read my new request and the reasons for wanting access to this information,
reasons which I hereby incorporate by reference into this review:

Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr Drake
On 13 November 2022, the Department of Finance received the attached email
from you.
We seek further information as to whether you are seeking an internal
review of the:
1) FOI 22/85 charges decision, notified to you on 1 November 2022, or
2) FOI 22/54 internal review access refusal decision, notified to you
on 24 October 2022.
Please note that under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), if
you are seeking a review of Finance’s FOI 22/54 internal review decision,
you will have to seek an external review by the Office of the Australian
Information Commissioner as there is no mechanism under the FOI Act to
have an internal review decision reviewed by the same agency.
If you are seeking an internal review of the FOI 22/85 charges decision,
we will commence the internal review process.
We appreciate your assistance in this matter.
