Dear Foi team,
Apologies, I am requesting documents in possession of the department.

Dear John Smith
Thank you for your email confirming that you are requesting documents in
the possession of the department.
Acknowledgement of your Freedom of Information Request No: LEX 28267
I refer to your request received by the Department of Agriculture,
Fisheries and Forestry on 6 September 2022 for access to documents under
the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) made in the following terms:
All correspondence in the department’s possession between the Minister's
Office and the RSPCA (SA or national) about exemptions from pre-slaughter
stunning requirements, between the period 1 January 2018 to present.
Your address
The FOI Act requires that you provide us with an address which we can send
notices to. You have advised your electronic address is
[1][FOI #9355 email]. We will send all notices
and correspondence to these addresses.
Please advise us as soon as possible if you wish correspondence to be sent
to another address or if your address changes. If you do not advise us of
changes to your address, correspondence and notices will continue to be
sent to the address specified above.
Disclosure log
Please note that information released under FOI Act may be published in a
disclosure log on the department's website. Section 11C of the FOI Act
requires this publication, however it is subject to certain exceptions,
including where publication of personal, business, professional or
commercial information would be unreasonable.
Exclusion of junior department employee details
The department is working towards ensuring that all employees have a
choice about whether they provide their full name and direct contact
details in response to public enquiries. Where such details are included
in the scope of a request, this may add to processing time and applicable
charges as it may be necessary to consider whether the details are exempt
under the FOI Act. On this basis, unless you tell us otherwise, we will
assume that these details are out of scope of your request and they will
be redacted under section 22 of the FOI Act.
Further assistance
If you have any questions please email [2][email address].
