Dear FOI,

Thank you for providing access to a copy of the initiating documents in the proceedings ACCC v Audi Aktiengesellschaft (Audi AG) etc, albeit with pages of the initiating documents now bearing a stamp, Released under the FOI Act. In my humble view the released documents are not a copy of the initiating documents but rather new documents created on the date the stamp was affixed, being a date after the FOI application was made. The documents released did not exist at the time the application was made.

For the purposes of the FOI Act however, I am satisfied with the released documents.

Yours sincerely,

JS
