Dear Judith Maude,

I am perfectly fine with collapsing the four requests regarding Insiders, 730, Lateline and Four Corners. Anything that would save an administrative burden.

To clarify, I am after the organisation of interviews and appearances, requests for interview etc. So whomever would be responsible for that duty within each of the show we can confine the search to.

I am trying to determine 1) who is the ABC asking 2) who is the ABC getting and 3) who is refusing to attend interviews.

I am mostly after declined interviews, however sifting through to determine that would be a nightmare I would imagine.

We could narrow the search to those on the front benches of each of the parties plus a few exceptions. Here is the prescribed list:
Julia Gillard
Kevin Rudd
Wayne Swan
Bob Carr
Chris Evans
Simon Crean
Stephen Smith
Tanya Plibersek
Jenny Macklin
Anthony Albanese
Stephen Conroy
Kim Carr
Penny Wong
Peter Garrett
Nicola Roxon
Joe Ludwig
Tony Burke
Martin Ferguson
Chris Bowen
Craig Emerson
Mark Butler
Greg Combet
Tony Abbott
Julie Bishop
Warren Truss
Eric Abetz
George Brandis
Joe Hockey
Christopher Pyne
Nigel Scullion
Barnaby Joyce
Andrew Robb
Ian Macfarlane
David Johnston
Malcolm Turnbull
Peter Dutton
Kevin Andrews
Greg Hunt
Scott Morrison
Sophie Mirrabella
John Cobb
Bruce Billson
Bob Baldwin
Mathias Cormann
Luke Hartsuyker
Sussan Ley
Brett Mason
Marise Payne
Mitch Fifield
Michael Keenan
Stuart Robert
Michael Ronaldson
Concetta Fieravanti-Wells
Bronwyn Bishop
Arthur Sinodinos
Teresa Gambaro
Darren Chester
Gary Humphries
Tony Smith
Fiona Nash
Ian Macdonald
Don Randall
Simon Birmingham
Andrew Southcott
Andrew Laming
Michaelia Cash
Richard Colbeck
Scott Ryan
Jamie Briggs
Cory Bernardi
Bob Katter
Tony Windsor
Robert Oakshott
Bob Brown
Christine Milne
Adamn Bandt
Richael Siewert
Scott Ludlam
Sarah Hanson-Young
Lee Rhiannon
Richarch Di Datale
Larissa Waters
Penny Wright
Peter Whish-Wilson

If there are sample questions sent through I would also like a copy of those to compare to the live transcript.

Please do not have any hesitation in asking me to clarify any aspect of this email or request.

Yours sincerely,

Luke Mansillo

Dear Mr Mansillo
 
Thank you for your response.
 
It would be useful to speak to you about the scope of your request. I am
not able to confine the search to individuals in the manner you have
suggested, as there is no single individual within each program team who
has the responsibility for organising interviews. Further, I would like to
discuss reducing the current list of 84 potential interviewees who are the
subject of your request.
 
As I do not have your contact telephone number, I would be grateful if you
would contact me to discuss this further.
 
Regards

Hi Luke

In any event, I understand from your message that you do not wish to

Regards
