Dear Tyler

I apologise for any confusion, it appears you are replying to our FOI mailbox auto-reply. This auto-reply is in no way a decision on access and the Department is continuing with the processing of your request.

The current due date is 20 November 2025, as per the extension agreement between the Department and yourself on 23 October 2025.

At this time we will continue processing the primary decision and notify you of a decision on or before 20 November 2025.

Yours sincerely
Janelle

To: FOI <[email address]>
Subject: Internal review of Freedom of Information request - Signed copy of legislative instruments

Dear Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet,

Please pass this on to the person who conducts Freedom of Information reviews.

I am writing to request an internal review of Department of the Prime Minister and Cabinet's handling of my FOI request 'Signed copy of legislative instruments', FOI Reference: FOI/2025/252.

My understanding of DPMC's email of 23 October 2025 is that my request is refused. However, different Commonwealth government departments or offices have been referring me to others (including DPMC) on my request(s), even if the instruments concerned may have been signed by their own department or office.

Anyway, can DPMC at least clarify or advise if the fact is that DPMC simply does not have possession of the information requested? If however DPMC does have possession of the information requested or at least some of this information, then my request is for the information requested which is in the possession of DPMC.

A full history of my FOI request and all correspondence is available on the Internet at this address: http://www.righttoknow.org.au/request/si...

Thanks yous!

Yours faithfully,

Tyler
