Dear Department of Health,

In respect of Minister Hunt's statement of 03 March 2017 in respect to the Australian Sports Anti-Doping Authority investigation into doping at the Essendon Football Club wherein Mr Hunt was advised there is no new or substantive information in the material supplied that would justify a further investigation.

I am requesting a copy of the Department's advice to Minister Hunt referred to in his statement, together with copies of correspondence (electronic and print) between ASADA and Health officials in preparing and finalising that advice.

Yours faithfully,

Philip Nelson
