ABCC - disclosure log
Dear Australian Building and Construction Commission,
Agencies must publish information that has been released in response to each FOI access request, subject to certain exceptions. This publication is known as a ‘disclosure log’. A disclosure log lists information that has been released in response to an FOI access request for documents held by the agency.
Three options for publishing information are specified in the FOI legislation:
1. making the information available for downloading from the agency’s website
2. linking to another website where the information can be downloaded, or
3. giving details of how the information may be obtained.
Up to Sept 2017 the ABCC used option 1 to meet is disclosure log obligation by making the information available for downloading from its website.
Since October 2017 the ABCC has used option 3 to meet is disclosure log obligation by giving details of how the information may be obtained.
Under FOI I seek access to documents concerning or relating to the decision by the ABCC to change from option 1 to option 3 to meet its disclosure log obligations.
Yours faithfully,
JS
