A request under the Freedom of Information Act must be acknowleged within 14 days and a decision must usually be made in 30 days. In this application the applicant does not say that the application is an application under the FOI Act and therefore it is not a valid FOI application. Also, the request from the applicant is a request for information and not a request for a document so for this reason also it is not a valid FOI application. The requirements of the Act do not apply. The agency might be (legally) impolite and never reply.

To the applicant: as soon as possible, continue this email thread and write again to the agency and say that you want to make an application for documents under the FOI Act. You cannot metamorphose the old application to make it valid but you can be quick! May I suggest this

"Under the FOI Act I request any document that lists the names of the all the RHDV Strains for rabbits that have been tested in Australia in the past 4 years."

Dear Biosecurity Advisory Council,

Under the FOI law, my question regarding documents with the names of all the RHDV strains for rabbits that have been tested in Australia in the past 4 years, should have had a response by now, please respond with information regarding when the requested documents will be made available to me.

Yours faithfully,

Maree Hamming
