Dear Office of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions,

The Hayne Royal Commission identified misconduct by AMP executives and possibly by directors that could give rise to criminal prosecution.

The documents I seek are copies of correspondence between ASIC and the CDPP in relation to the decision by the CDPP not to proceed with criminal charges as recommended by the Hayne Royal Commission

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney

Dear Office of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Office of the Commonwealth Director of Public Prosecutions' handling of my FOI request 'Criminal Conduct by AMP Executives'.

It is a matter of public interest when a Royal Commissioner recommends criminal prosecution for white-collar crimes and the CDPP then declines to proceed with the recommendation of a Royal Commissioner without providing an adequate explanation.

I, therefore, seek an Internal Review on the basis that public interest is more important than claims of legal privilege.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: https://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/c...

Yours faithfully,

Phillip Sweeney
