Dear Ms Bullivant OAM,

Thank you for your email to the Department of Finance (Finance) seeking
the following information:

‘Do sacked politicians get a pension for life’

Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), requests may be made
for ‘…access to a document of an agency’ (subsection 15(1) of the FOI
Act). At this stage, your request is for access to information. That is,
you have asked the department a question rather than sought access to
specific documents and we do not consider that you have made a valid
request under section 15 of the FOI Act. Further information on how to
make a valid FOI request can be found here:
[1]http://finance.gov.au/foi/foi.html

The Department of Finance publishes information on its website on
Parliamentary Superannuation under the Parliamentary Contributory
Superannuation Act 1948 and the Parliamentary Superannuation Act 2004. You
can access this information here:

This information includes the [3]Parliamentary Contributory
Superannuation Scheme Handbook which may contain the information you seek.

Please contact the FOI Team on the below contact details if you have any
questions about this matter, or the FOI process in general.

Kind regards

FOI Officer
