Dear Mr Hamiltonshire

We are writing to acknowledge your FOI request to the Inspector of the
National Anti-Corruption Commission (INACC). The request has been
forwarded to the FOI team within the Attorney-General’s Department (the
department) for processing under administrative support arrangements with
the INACC.

We acknowledge your request and seek your agreement to exclude certain
information from your request.

Your request was made in the following terms:

I request access to any correspondents received by the Inspector of the
National Anti-Corruption Commission relating to the raids discussed in the
article from any of the following individuals:

a. Bruce Lehrmann

b. John Macgowan

c. Zali Burrows

Your FOI request was received on 8 September 2025 and the 30-day statutory
period for processing your request commenced on the following day. The
statutory due date for decision is currently Wednesday 8 October 2025. The
statutory period may also be extended if we need to consult third parties
or for other reasons permitted under the FOI Act. We will advise you if
this happens.

Confirming certain information to be excluded from the scope of your
request

We note that you have already agreed to exclude duplicates and documents
already publicly released from the scope of your request. We also note
that you agree to exclude the names and direct contact details of
non-senior staff, provided that job titles and domains of email addresses
be visible.

We are seeking your agreement to also exclude the following categories of
information from the documents in your request:

-              personal information of members of the public;

-              contact details for teams, internal to the INACC and other
agencies

Excluding the information listed above enables us to process your request
more efficiently. If you agree to the above exclusions, the names of
senior executive officers will be released where they are present in the
documents and do not attract an FOI exemption. In addition, publicly
available telephone numbers and email addresses will generally be
released.

Next steps

Please respond to this email by Monday 15 September 2025 to confirm if you
agree to the exclusion of the above information.

If you would like to discuss this further please contact the FOI Team by
phoning (02) 6141 6666 or emailing [email address].
