CD made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Bureau of Statistics

This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.

Australian Bureau of Statistics did not have the information requested.

Dear Australian Bureau of Statistics,

I hereby request under the Freedom of Information Act any meeting minutes from the previous twelve months created by the The Cross Portfolio Data Integration Oversight Board and held by the Australian Bureau of Statistics.

For the sake of expediency of this request in searching for relevant documents I note that the Australian Statistician chairs the The Cross Portfolio Data Integration Oversight Board and the Australian Bureau of Statistics is the lead agency within the National Statistics Service within which the board is established.

I ask that this Freedom of Information request is fulfilled in the public interest to inform public debate around "data integration" and the 2016 Census.

I look forward to hearing from your FOI office as soon as possible.

Yours faithfully,

CD

Lachlan MacRae, Australian Bureau of Statistics

Dear Lachlan MacRae,

I note that the statutory period for fulfilling this FOI request ends in a few days. Will the ABS be releasing the requested documents during this period?

Yours sincerely,

CD

Dear Lachlan MacRae,

As the ABS has not made contact regarding the processing of this FOI request during the 30 day processing period, will the documents be released today, Thursday 8 September?

Also, as the ABS has not notified of any charges relevant to this request does this mean that there will be no cost imposed?

Regards,

CD
