Prime Minister’s Question Time Briefs

We're waiting for PM to read recent responses and update the status.

Dear Prime Minister,

I write to request access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982.

I seek access to the Prime Minister’s Question Time briefs for the Prime Minister’s participation in Question Time on 27 July – 4 August 2022.

This request includes the documents in the red and white folders taken by the PM into the chamber for QT.

For the avoidance of doubt, I am seeking access to documents held by the Prime Minister and his Office broader than those documents which would be held by the Department of Prime Minister and Cabinet and includes any documents created or amended by the Prime Minister’s office for Question time as well as documents containing annotations or highlighting by the Prime Minister or his staff.

Yours faithfully,
PM

FOI, Prime Minister
