The request is waiting for clarification. If you are James Smith, please sign in to send a follow up message.

Dear Department of Human Services,

This is a request for information under the Freedom of Information Act.

I request the document(s) which describe the data provided to the external organisation(s) responsible for conducting the ballot(s) for all Enterprise Agreements put to staff for a vote.

The scope of this request is limited only to those ballots undertaken for enterprise agreements which were proposed to take effect after 30 June 2014.

The document shall describe the data given to the ballot agent. For example, employee name, employee identification number, employee email address, etc. I exclude the data for specific employees here; I am only after the 'meta-data'.

If it assists you to treat this as an administrative request for information I encourage you to do so. Otherwise, please consider this a formal FOI request.

Yours faithfully,

James Smith

Dear FOI.LEGAL.TEAM,

Thank you for your email.

I contend the charges should not be applied on public interest grounds. The department of human services has been mentioned in the media on this topic and the integrity of your employees' private data and of the integrity of the EA ballot process is in the public interest.

Here is a link to the media article. http://www.canberratimes.com.au/national...

Please provide me with the request information without charge.

Yours sincerely,

James Smith
