FOI REQUEST
Dear NACC,
According to the 2024-25 annual report of the NACC:
"The Commissioner presented a paper to the Third Symposium to honour Professor Leslie Zines AO, and to pay tribute to the Honourable Paul Finn: Issues in Australian Constitutional Law. The paper described and discussed the role of the ‘integrity branch’ of the Commonwealth government; and the Commission’s place in it as one of several ‘guardrail institutions’ which sustain confidence in the institutions of government by showing, through their existence and actions, that exercises of public power and performance of public functions are subject to independent and objective scrutiny in order to ensure that they are proper."
Under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth), I request access to the Hon Paul Brereton's paper to the third symposium to honour Professor Leslie Zines AO, and to pay tribute to the Honourable Paul Finn: Issues in Australian Constitutional Law.
Please provide the paper by return email.
Yours sincerely,
Lex

I refer to your request for access to documents relating to the Commissioner's speech for the Third Symposium under the Freedom of Information Act 1982. I have taken your request to be for:

We received your request on 5 November 2025 and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. You should therefore expect a decision from us by 5 December 2025. The period of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties or for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.
Can you please confirm if the scope of your request excludes duplicates of documents, drafts, and names of staff members unless they are Statutory Office Holders.
Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be published online on our disclosure log FOI Requests | National Anti-Corruption Commission (NACC), subject to certain exceptions. (For example, personal information will not be published where this would be unreasonable.)
We will contact you using the email address [FOI #13135 email] which you provided. Please advise if you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact. If you have any questions, please contact the FOI officer using this email address ([NACC request email]).
If you do not receive a decision within 30 days, or advice that the statutory timeframe has been extended, you can apply to the Information Commissioner for review of what is called a ‘deemed decision’.
