Our reference: FOIREQ22/00206

Dear Verity Pane,

Freedom of Information request

I refer to your request for access to documents made under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (Cth) (the FOI Act) and received by the Office of the
Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) on 29 July 2022.

Scope of your request

In your email you seek access to the following:

“Copy of the decision of Justin Lodge, Director of Freedom of Information
dated 29 July 2022 in MR18/00860, and the related email received by the
FOIDR inbox on 12 July 2022 from myself are applied for.

As personal information can include email addresses, my email address is
to be redacted under s 47F given these documents will be published.”

In order to process your request as efficiently as possible, I will
exclude duplicates and early parts of email streams that are captured in
later email streams from the scope of this request, unless you advise me
otherwise.

We will not identify you as the FOI applicant during and consultation
process. However, documents that are within the scope of your request that
we may need to consult third parties about may contain your personal
information.

Timeframes for dealing with your request

Section 15 of the FOI Act requires this office to process your request no
later than 30 days after the day we receive it. However, section 15(6) of
the FOI Act allows us a further 30 days in situations where we need to
consult with third parties about certain information, such as business
documents or documents affecting their personal privacy.

As we received your request on 29 July 2022, we must process your request
by 29 August 2022.

Disclosure Log

Documents released under the FOI Act may be published online on our
disclosure log, unless they contain personal or business information that
would be unreasonable to publish.

If you would like to discuss this matter please contact me on my contact
details set out below.
