All contracts awarded to McKinsey
Dear Department of Defence,
I would like to request a list of all tenders awarded to consultancy McKinsey & Company in the last five years. In addition I would like to know the name and type of the tender as well as a copy of McKinsey’s tender materials for each submission.
In light of the exceptional public interest in this matter (due to McKinsey’s affiliation with corrupt government regimes and the recent corruption scandal in South Africa), which I am sure you are aware of, I request that all fees be waived.
Yours faithfully,
Andy Johnson

Dear Department of Defence,
Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.
I am writing to request an internal review of Department of Defence's handling of my FOI request 'All contracts awarded to McKinsey’.
It seems absolutely unbelievable that the Department cannot tell how much money has been spent on one single vendor. Perhaps this is because the Department is not willing to disclose how much it really spends on external consultants?
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,
Andy Johnson
