Dear Trent Morrison-Francis
Freedom of Information request
I refer to your request for access to documents made under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (Cth) (the FOI Act) and received by the Office of the
Australian Information Commissioner (OAIC) on 7 January 2022.
Scope of your request
In your email you seek access to the following:
“Please take this request for any documents that your
department holds in relation to any "Exemptions" or "Wavers" as defined by
the Webster Dictionary or socially accepted definitions of the words in
the country of Australia to comply with any legislation that your office
has powers, authority or manages under legislation for its management as a
superannuation provider.
To remove any doubt we are asking for all schemes that Commonwealth
Superannuation Corporation manages including
CSS
ABN: 19 415 776 361
RSE: R1004649
DFRDB
ABN: 39 798 362 763
Military Super
ABN: 50 925 523 120
RSE: R1000306
ADF Super
ABN: 90 302 247 344
RSE R1077063
ADF Cover
ABN: 64 250 674 722
The period for the request relates to all documents created on or after
the 01st January 2017 by either your office and or the Commonwealth
Superannuation Corporation (where practicable if your office is not the
creator of the documents).
Yours faithfully,
Trent Morrison-Francis”
We have interpreted the scope of your request as being for “all documents
the OAIC holds in relation to any exemptions or waivers the OAIC receives
as a superannuation provider created on or after 1 January 2017 up to date
of your FOI request on 7 January 2022.”
Can you please confirm that our interpretation is correct? I would greatly
appreciate your response as soon as possible but by no later than 24
January 2022. If we do not hear from you by this date we will continue to
process the request in accordance with the above interpretation.
In order to process your request as efficiently as possible, I will
exclude duplicates and early parts of email streams that are captured in
later email streams from the scope of this request, unless you advise me
otherwise.
We will not identify you as the FOI applicant during any consultation
process. However, documents that are within the scope of your request that
we may need to consult third parties about may contain your personal
information.
Timeframes for dealing with your request
Section 15 of the FOI Act requires this office to process your request no
later than 30 days after the day we receive it. However, section 15(6) of
the FOI Act allows us a further 30 days in situations where we need to
consult with third parties about certain information, such as business
documents or documents affecting their personal privacy.
As we received your request on 7 January 2022, we must process your
request by 7 February 2022.
Disclosure Log
Documents released under the FOI Act may be published online on our
disclosure log, unless they contain personal or business information that
would be unreasonable to publish.
If you would like to discuss this matter please contact me on my contact
details set out below.
