Collective Shout Correspondents
Dear Classification Board,
This is a Freedom of Information Request for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1982.
I seek access to any submissions, correspondents, or documents received and exchanged by the the Australian Classification Board from the organisation known as "Collective Shout", a registered charity which exists from time to time, identify by the ABN 30162159097 since 1 January 2009 onward.
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.’
Yours faithfully,
Glenn Hamiltonshire
