Dear Ms Pullen

Thank you for your email, which was received by the Attorney-General's Department (the department) on 13 April 2023.

In order for the department to process your email as a valid FOI request, we require the following information from you:

• Please confirm in writing that your request is an application for the purposes of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).
• Your request, as currently drafted, is invalid. To make a valid FOI request, you must provide sufficient information to enable a responsible officer of the agency or the minister to identify the document that is requested.

The right of access under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act) is to existing documents, rather than a means of having general questions answered.

As such, for the purposes of section 15 of the FOI Act, can you please confirm what document(s) you are seeking.

Please note, the department is unable to take further action in response to your email of 13 April 2023 until the additional information requested above has been received.

Kind regards
