Freedom of Information Logs - FOI Request
Dear Infrastructure Australia,
I am writing to make a request under the Freedom of Information Act for a complete copy of the departments' Freedom of Information (FOI) logs for the period 2013-2023, including any secondary departments controlled by the agency.
I request that this is provided as a document and not a simple redirect to the agency website as I am of the view that your online disclosure logs do not actively reflect your FOI requests that you have received in this period.
I would appreciate it if you could provide me with this information in an electronic format, such as a PDF or spreadsheet, if possible.
If there are any fees associated with fulfilling this request, please let me know in advance so that I can consider my options.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
Watson Norwood

Dear Mr Norwood
I refer to my email below in which I sought to clarify your recent request

I have not heard from you in relation to that request for clarification.
If you would like to proceed further, please provide the further
information requested so that I am able to effectively and efficiently
identify and locate all relevant documents.
Please note that as I have not heard from you since 21 May, I have assumed
you no longer wish to pursue this FOI request, and I will take no further
