Dear Judy,
To clarify my request, and if you see an assumption below that is answerable in the public domain do advise me the link, the docs I seek is any related to evidence supporting government requirements for staff of your dept/org to wear masks at work.
My assumption is that employees were told to wear masks, so were they told why and what evidence supporting the order was shown to them? Docs as email, memos, staffnotices, group mail communications, or similar.
Or alternatively, since by federal law BiosecuritiesAct2015/61 no citizen may be compelled or asked to wear a mask unless a judge has issued a biosecurity control order in the name of that person.
Alternate request under FoI Act
I request a list of all the biosecurity control orders issued to staff (how many issued exactly) with PIN, names etc redacted as I respect individual privacy. If these control orders do not exist the Mask Mandate must be recinded as it is illegal.
Yours sincerely,
verifysp
