Dear JayShah2000

My preliminary assessment of this FOI request indicates there may be a
practical refusal reason as the work involved in processing the request
would substantially and unreasonably divert the resources of the
Commission from its other operations (s 24AA(1)(a)(i) of the FOI Act).

Could you please consider how to reduce the scope of the request in terms
of timeframe, and type of media appointment or external appointment.

Kind regards,

Lara Renton she/her
