Dear Benedict,  

 

The Department of Industry, Science and Resources (the department) has
received your Freedom of Information request of 23 September 2025 below
for access to:

 

             A copy of ministerial submission MS25-000542 and everything
that was returned from the relevant minister in response to MS25-000542.

 

Currently the due date for a decision is 23 October 2025, however due to
the work still required to process your request we will not be able to
meet this deadline. Therefore, I am writing to request a 30 day extension
of time to process your request so you will retain your full review rights
of any decision made. This will mean the new due date for a decision will
be Monday 24 November 2025.

 

Can you please respond by return email by 20 October 2025 to confirm if
you agree to the extension of time.

 

Kind regards,

 

FOI Officer
