Dear Mr Dunbar

With reference to your FOI request I wonder whether it has been incorrectly directed to the Office of the Official Secretary to the Governor-General, rather than to the office of the Attorney-General? As this matter does not appear to have any connection to this Office you may wish to redirect your enquiry.

Kind regards,
