Subject: Internal review of Freedom of Information request - Seeking assessments justifying HOSM for Palladium Group Pty Ltd
From: Trav S <xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx>
To: FOI <xxx@xxx.xxx.xx>

Dear PM&C,

Please accept our request for an internal review of the FOI request 'Seeking assessments justifying HOSM for Palladium Group Pty Ltd'.

PM&C has previously advised that generally speaking, Government has not recommended commercial organisations for the HOSM on the grounds they are not principally humanitarian organisations in comparison with not-for-profit organisations.

However an exception to that general rule appears to have been made in this case. We ask that you provide us with a copy of the advice and information relied upon in justifying the award of the HOSM to Palladium Group Pty Ltd, a commercial organisation.

From the documents the department released, the assessment's 'Attachment F' does not appear to have been included. Are we able to request a copy of the attachment?

Can we also ask for the release of the information withheld under Section 22, excepting any persons signature; names and contact details of non-SES APS staff or Ministerial staff below Chief of Staff ?

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

Yours faithfully,

Trav S
