Access to files PA-2023-0130, PA-2023-0137 and PA-2023-0138
Dear Federal Court of Australia,
In 2023, the Federal Court of Australia sought the services of CPM Reviews Pty Ltd in respect of human resources management issues.
"CPM Reviews specialises in conducting workplace investigations" and provides "professional and independent reviews of workplace behaviour, administrative actions and employment decisions for the public sector at all levels of government and for other organisations, including universities and private sector organisations": https://cpmreviews.com.au/index.html
I am interested in three files associated with the services that the Federal Court sought from CPM Reviews. These files contain documents of the Federal Court of Australia in relation to the services that the Federal Court sought from CPM Reviews.
Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth), I request access to:
a) any and all documents associated, in the broadest sense of that term, with the file PA-2023-0130; and
b) any and all documents associated, in the broadest sense of that term, with the file PA-2023-0137; and
c) any and all documents associated, in the broadest sense of that term, with the file PA-2023-0138.
Please provide the requested documents by return email.
Yours faithfully,
FOIBLES

Dear FOIBLES
I refer to your request to the Federal Court of Australia (Court) under
the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) for access to documents.
The purpose of this email is to advise you that part of your request has
been transferred to the Federal Circuit and Family Court of Australia
(FCFCoA).
The part of your request that will be transferred to the FCFCoA is:
Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth), I request access to:
a. any and all documents associated, in the broadest sense of that term,
with the file PA-2023-0130; and
…
Under subsection 16(1) of the FOI Act, the Court, with the agreement of
the FCFCoA, may transfer part of the request to the FCFCoA if the
requested document is not in the possession of the Court but is in the
possession of the FCFCoA or if the subject matter of the document is more
closely connected with the functions of the FCFCiA.
The Court, with agreement, transferred your request as the subject
matter/function is more closely aligned with the FCFCoA.
The Court will continue to process the remaining part of your request
which is currently due on 15 March 2024.
Kind regards
FOI Officer

I acknowledge the Australian Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples
as the first inhabitants of the nation and the traditional custodians of
the lands where we live, learn and work.
Dear B Henderson,
Please pass this to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I disagree with your conclusion that it is not in the public interest to grant access to any one of the requested documents, and request internal review of your handling of my FOI request 'Access to files PA-2023-0137 and PA-2023-0138'.
Ultimately, the FOI Commissioner may have to decide if the blanket appeal to conditional exemptions and refusal to grant access to documents, supposedly on the ground that disclosure is against the public interest, are justified.
