Documents relating to the fulfilment of contract CN4181217
Dear Department of Defence,
I am making a request under the Freedom of Information Act.
I am requesting digital files of any photographs from events carried out in fulfilment of Contract CN4181217 between the Department of Defence and the Australian Football League, during the contract period: 26-Jul-2025 to 26-Jul-2025.
For reference, the contract notice is published on the AusTender website at:
https://www.tenders.gov.au/Cn/Show/41158...
I pre-emptively agree to requests for third party consultation if necessary, and also agree to the removal of any identifying features of non-senior department staff. If a large number of documents are captured within the scope of this request that would make it untenable, I will happily revise my request.
Kind Regards,
Mike
