Consultation due to Commonwealth-State relations (s 26A)

HPRM ref – 2024/1152

Dear Morgan

Freedom of information request – Vessel VP01

I refer to your request for access to documents relating to Vessel VP01 under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act). As your request covers documents which concern relations between the Commonwealth and the Victorian Government, AMSA is required to consult with that Government (under section 26A of the FOI Act) before making a decision on the release of those documents.

For this reason, the period for processing your request has been extended by 30 days in order to allow our agency time to consult with the Victorian Government (section 15(6) of the FOI Act). The processing period for your request will now end on 14 February 2024

The consultation mechanism under section 26A applies when we believe the State or Territory may wish to contend that the requested documents are exempt because their release may cause damage to relations between the Commonwealth and the Victorian Government or may divulge information communicated by that Government in confidence. We will take into account any comments we receive from the Victorian Government but the final decision about whether to grant you access to the documents you requested rests with AMSA.

More information about exemptions under the FOI Act is available on the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner’s website: https://www.oaic.gov.au/freedom-of-infor...
To assist with conducting those consultations, AMSA seeks your consent to disclose your identity as the applicant of this FOI request. I note that there is no obligation for you to do so, and should you not consent AMSA will in no way reveal this information.

Yours sincerely
