Good morning,
Search and retrieval activities have been completed and the following
advice was received.
o There is no contract with Bastion. The services provided fell below
the $50K threshold necessitating a formal agreement.
o The services provided by Bastion were not significant and comprised
verbal advice only. There are no associated documents, notes,
transcripts etc.
As this constitutes a ‘nil documents’ scenario, a decision notice advising
you of that fact will be prepared and issued to you today.
Kind regards,
ANU FOI Team
