DHS approval for Liberal party to use Medicare logo in election advertisments

James Smith made this Freedom of Information request to Services Australia

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

Services Australia did not have the information requested.

Dear Department of Human Services,

I refer to the article 'Turnbull government threatens to sue grandfather over 'save Medicare' website' dated 23 November 2016 which can be viewed at the following URL:

http://www.canberratimes.com.au/federal-...

The article mentions the Liberal party used the 'Medicare' logo in its election advertisements (in the most recent federal election).

I assume the Liberal party sought prior approval from DHS to use the Medicare logo in its election advertisements.

This is an FOI request for the documents which shows:
1. The Liberal party's request for approval to use the Medicare logo
2. The approval being granted by DHS

Yours faithfully,

James Smith
