Dear Department of Finance and Deregulation,

I seek documents giving effect to the demotion of Dr. Mark Roberts
in the Leader of the Opposition's Office and correspondents
regarding his demotion in any way, shape or form.

The demotion occurred on the 19th April 2013.

I seek documentation of his agreements of employment as a member of an office-holder's staff. The agreement before the 19th April and after the 19th April. This should be available as the Members of Parliament (Staff) Act 1984 as states: "An office‑holder may, on behalf of the Commonwealth, employ, under an agreement in writing, a person as a member of the office‑holder’s staff" (Part III 13(1)). Those agreements in writing is what is requested.

I also seek documentation that states Dr. Mark Roberts' remuneration rate and fringe benefits before and after his demotion on the 19th April. The pay slip immediately prior to the demotion and afterwards would suffice.

I also seek all documentation outlining Dr. Mark Roberts's job
description at the moment after his demotion; and his job
description immediately prior to his demotion.

All communication around the demotion incident that involves the Department is also requested.

Yours faithfully,

Luke Mansillo
