Access to documents released administratively
Dear Australian Public Service Commission,
This is a request made under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth).
According to a document on the FOI disclosure log on the APSC website (LEX 559), documents were released administratively under LEX 540 (reference SHC23-4379), LEX 544 (reference SHC23-4513), LEX 545 (reference SHC23-4540), and LEX 546 (SHC23-4521).
Subject to those documents being released administratively pursuant to this request for access, under the FOI Act, I request access to the administratively released documents associated with LEX 540, LEX 544, LEX 545, and LEX 546.
Yours faithfully,
Anselmo Cristobal Hernandez y Pinal

Dear Ms McIntyre,
Please pass this to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Australian Public Service Commission's handling of my FOI request 'Access to documents released administratively'.
These documents that you have refused access to were released administratively to a person who made an FOI request for them. Why would these documents have been released administratively in response to an FOI request if, as you say, it is contrary to the public interest to grant access to them? Why would the APSC privilege one access applicant over another?
Your decision doesn't make sense. It seems discriminatory.
A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/a...
Yours faithfully,
Anselmo Cristobal Hernandez y Pinal
