* Wills, 11 April 1992
* Werriwa, 29 January 1994

* Canberra, 25 March 1995
* Fraser, 1 February 1997

The level of data requested is a similar level to that provided for general elections by the V3_4 files on the AEC 1993-1998 CD-ROM, or the "Election Statistics" 1984-1993 statistics books.

Dear Mr Jones,

Thanks very much for your response acknowledging my request on 29 January.

I am happy to be contacted on the email address provided for matters related to the request.

A minor clarification - there are two points identified, but the second is simply a scope statement for the first.

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Owens

Dear Owen,

I refer to my request for information about the booth-level results of various by-elections.

By law, the AEC should have responded promptly and by 28 February 2014, as noted in your letter to me. To date, beyond the initial clarification response on 28 January 2014, I have not received any correspondence from the AEC on this matter.

Could this be followed up as soon as possible?

Yours sincerely,

Andrew Owens
