Dear Andorra,
We have received your email on 14 November 2022, seeking access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act) to the final version of the index of the Department's Senate Estimates issues brief that was prepared for the Secretary for the Senate Estimates conducted between 28 October and 11 November 2022 (Document).
As noted under DPS Information Requests Policy (Policy), all parliamentary departments are excluded from the application of the FOI Act. However, DPS recognises the importance of transparency and public accountability, and supports the principle that administrative documents should be open to scrutiny. DPS will provide access to documents subject to any claim of appropriate immunity or exemptions that would apply under the FOI Act or the Policy.
The authorised decision maker has considered your request and is satisfied that the Document falls under Group 2 and 3 of the exempt documents under clause 16 (b)(i), (ii), (iv) and 16 (c)(iii) of the Policy. Therefore, the authorised decision maker has decided not to grant release of the Document.
Kind regards
