Dear Mr Mullens,

 

I refer to my email of 15 June 2015 (below) seeking clarification of the
documents you were seeking under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth)
(FOI Act). 

 

As outlined in my email below, in order for your request to be valid, it
must (amongst other things) provide such information concerning the
document as is reasonably necessary to enable a responsible officer of the
agency to identify it (subsection 15(2)(b) of the FOI Act). You have not
responded to our email and we do not consider that your original request
provides sufficient clarity to enable us to identify the documents you
seek.  Accordingly, pursuant to section 15 of the FOI Act, your request is
not valid and we will not process it.

 

You are of course welcome to submit a new FOI Application. However, should
you choose to do so, we will treat that application as a new request and
process it accordingly.

 

If you require any further clarification, please do not hesitate to
contact me.

 

Regards,

 

Emily Fitton
