Dear Ms Davey
I refer to your request dated 5 August 2020 for access to documents held
by the Department of Home Affairs (the Department) under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).
The Department has identified three documents that fall within the scope
of your request. These documents contain information that an organisation
or undertaking might reasonably wish to make an exemption contention
because of business information within the documents .
The Department must not decide to give access to the business affairs
information unless the third party about whom that information relates has
been given a reasonable opportunity to make submissions in support of the
exemption contention.
The Department intends to consult third parties prior to making a decision
on access to the documents under section 27 of the FOI Act. As a result,
the timeframe for processing this request has been extended by 30 days in
accordance with subsection 15(6) of the FOI Act.
If you wish to discuss the matter with me directly, please do not hesitate
to contact me at [DIBP request email].
