Good afternoon Mr Hamiltonshire 

  

ABC FOI 202526-077 

  

The ABC acknowledges receipt of your freedom of information request,
below, set on Monday 24 November 2025 seeking access to: 

 

For context, I note a comment provided by the ABC to inquiries asked by
Media Watch relating to Andrew Greene's time at the ABC as a defence
reporter. The quote provided on 16 June 2025 (accessible here:
[1]https://www.abc.net.au/mediawatch/episod...), stated
that an 'investigation' was underway.

 

I seek access to the final document, or documents produced, as a result of
this investigation.

 

Please exclude duplicates and documents already publicly released,
including media releases, reports, articles and statements to the media.

Please limit emails to the final message in the chain as long as previous
messages are captured.

I agree to having the names and direct contact details of non-senior staff
removed, however I request that redactions do not include non-personally
identifying information. For example, please leave the domain and job
titles when redacting email addresses or signature blocks on emails.

I preemptively agree to requests for third party consultation if
necessary, but would prefer that my information about my identity is not
shared with those consulted.

 

Thank you for granting the ABC a voluntary 30 day extension of time under
s 15AA of the FOI Act, as you pre-emptively agreed in your email below.

 

The ABC is grateful for the extra time which means a decision on your
request is due by Friday 23 January 2026, factoring in the agreed further
30 days under s 15AA. The ABC will notify you if any processing charges
or third party consultation applies. 

 

By making a FOI request, you are providing personal information to the
ABC. The ABC manages personal information in accordance with its Privacy
Policy - available at [2]ABC Privacy Policy – ABC Help - Australian
Broadcasting Corporation Help Centre. Personal information may
be disclosed in the course of processing this request, such as for the
purposes of consultation or internal reporting. 

 

Many thanks,
