Dear Mr de Garis
Request for access to documents - Freedom of Information Act 1982
I refer to your email dated 5 May 2014, addressed to the Department of Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP), in which you have sought access to a copy of all documents and communications containing the phrase "Operation Sovereign Murders", a slip of the tongue uttered by Scott Morrison on 28 February, 2014, at the Joint Doorstop Interview in Darwin, under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
The subject matter of the documents requested by you is more closely connected with the functions of the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service (ACBPS) than the functions of DIBP. As such, your request was transferred to ACBPS on 3 March 2014 under section 16 of the FOI Act.
Your application was received on 5 May 2014, and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request will commence from that date.
I hope to be able to advise you of our decision on your request in the near future.
Where documents are released to you in response to your request, the Australian Customs and Border Protection Service may be required to publish these documents on its website within 10 working days in accordance with section 11C of the FOI Act. Publication will not be required where the documents contain personal or business affairs information.
Should you have any queries regarding the progress of your request, please contact me at [email address].
With kind regards
FOI Coordinator
