Dear FOI Coordinator for the Office of the eSafety Commissioner,

I wish to make a formal request for documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982, relating to historical engagement between your office and NCOSE.

I am requesting all documents which are:
- generated by or received by the Office of the eSafety Commissioner, or by the eSafety Commissioner Julie Inman Grant acting in her professional capacity, or by the agents of the Office who handle invitations and communications functions (whether those functions are in-house or outsourced);

- including internal or external correspondence, meeting requests, briefings or research, database entries, diary or calendar notes, minutes of meetings, policies or manuals, accommodation or travel documentation, invoices or receipts, and/or delegations of work;

- covering the period beginning 1 January 2017, and ending on the date you confirm your receipt of this FOI request;

relating to the topic described below:

I refer you to an email dated 22 September 2021 from a staff member of eSafety to Julie Inman Grant. This document was released as "Document 4" in response to my previous FOI request relating to the eSafety Commissioner's engagement with the organisation NCOSE (National Centre on Sexual Exploitation).

In that document, the unidentified staff member says:

"I looked into this earlier because this podcast/interview did not go via media or invites - although we had one for CESE back in early July so it's quite possible I was on leave when it was going through the invitations discussion.
[...]
We did a hunt on NCOSE. I know that we have participated with them before as I remember [redacted] has spoken of them."

I am seeking all documents relating to the engagement with NCOSE referred to by the staff member in this email. It appears from context the staff member is referring to a different event than the "Ending Sexual Exploitation" podcast recorded in July in connection with NCOSE's CESE (Coalition to End Sexual Exploitation) Summit.

Notes:
Please send all correspondence regarding this FOI to the address this email originates from.

I am happy to receive documents in a digital (PDF) format.

To the extent my consent is relevant, I do not consent to redactions of documents pursuant to the provisions of s 22 of the FOI Act without further specific discussion, and my request should be taken to specifically include any matter within a document otherwise identified as within scope that the decision-maker considers as possibly redactable under s 22.

I do not anticipate this FOI to generate significant work or large volumes of documents, but I nevertheless understand I may be liable for fees in relation to this FOI request.

I thank you for your assistance and look forward to your response.
Cheers,
Eliza Sorensen.

FOI, eSafety Commissioner
