Thank you for the information. I have just provided the correct MS reference details to the Ministerial Correspondence
Unit.
As the line area only commences the search just now and the FOI decision will be due in six days, are you in the position
to agree an extension of time under s 15AA of the FOI Act?
You can provide up to 30 day  of e ten ion to the Department
Please provide us a response by COB 11 April 2024.
Thank you for your a i tance
Kind regards,

Good afternoon Maria,
The applicant confirmed with us that the correct MS reference is MS22-000596.
Can you please advise us a rough estimate when this search will be completed as the request decision is due in 6 days.
I am attemping to get extension of time from this applicant today however she is a frequent applicant so it could be
difficult to seek an extension from her.
Kind regards,
Frankie| A/g Senior Information Access Officer

Email response from MCU (3/04/2024 11:25 AM) advising
Hi Padma,
I have had a look at this request and it appears that there may be a digit missing in the MS (MS22-00569) therefore there
is no information to provide. You may need to go back to JENNY and ask her to resubmit her request.
