Dear XD000ME
 
YOUR FREEDOM OF INFORMATION REQUEST
 
I refer to your request dated 15 March 2024, seeking access to documents
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act) as follows:
 
        Reece Kershaw using AIPM over Christmas and NewYears Eve since
2020.
 
Timeframe
 
Your request was received by the AFP on 15 March 2024, and the 30 day
statutory period for processing your request commenced from that date. The
due date for your request is 14 April 2024.
 
Information irrelevant to the scope of your request
 
The AFP, in its management of FOI requests, excludes the following
information on the basis that is irrelevant to the scope of a request:
 

* duplicate documents, including duplicate emails (the AFP will only
provide emails where they form a final email chain and the
authors/recipients are contained within the final email); and
* information that is publicly available, for example, newspaper
articles, online publications including information available on the
AFP Information Publication Scheme and the AFP disclosure log.

 
Please advise this office if you also consent to exclude the following
information:    
 

* Names of AFP members, other than the Senior Executive; and
* Direct telephone numbers, middle names of AFP members, signatures and
mobile telephone numbers of AFP members.

 
Information Publication Scheme
 
Please be advised that effective 1 May 2011 and in accordance with section
8(2) of the Act, an agency is required to publish information on the AFP
website following the notification of a decision in respect of a freedom
of information request.  Details of the decision will be published in a
Disclosure Log which can be found at
[1]https://www.afp.gov.au/about-us/informat...
 
The requirement to publish information released under FOI reinforces the
objectives of the FOI Act to promote a pro-disclosure culture across
government, and to increase recognition that information held by
government is a national resource.  Exceptions to the requirement to
publish information would apply to personal information and information
concerning the business affairs of a person if it was considered
‘unreasonable’ to do so. 
 
If however, after noting the above, you wish to raise any concerns about
the publication of information concerning your request prior to the
notification of a decision, please advise the AFP in writing before 14
April 2024.
 
Kind regards
