Dear The FOI People, 
 
I refer to your request on 5 June 2024, under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), in the 
following terms: 
All public speeches made by the Treasurer that contain a condemnation about the killing of 
children in the occupied Palestinian Territories, specifically in East Jerusalem, the West 
Bank and the Gaza Strip since the 7th October 2023. I require all draft and final versions of 
these speeches.  
I am authorised to make FOI decisions on the Treasurer’s behalf.  
I am satisfied that, after reasonable search, the Treasurer is not in possession of any documents within 
scope of your request. I have therefore decided to refuse your request under section 24A(1) of the FOI 
Act on the ground that relevant documents do not exist. 
A statement setting out your rights of review in this matter is attached. 
Yours sincerely, 
 
 
 
 
Claudia Crawford 
Chief of Staff 
Office of the Treasurer, the Hon Jim Chalmers MP
