Good morning,

Freedom of Information request no. 11-2025

I refer to your request for access to documents submitted to the
Governor-General for royal assent to the Marriage Amendment (Definition
and Religious Freedoms) Act 2017.

OPC received your request on 30 August 2024 and the 30 day statutory
period for processing your request commenced from the day after that date.
You should therefore expect a decision from us by  29 September 2024. The
period of 30 days may be extended if we need to consult third parties or
for other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

If you require this information, please let us know so the decision‑maker
may consider releasing it. Otherwise, we will take it that you agree to
this information being excluded from the scope of your request (that is,
the information will be treated as irrelevant and redacted from any
documents for release).

Please note that information released under the FOI Act may later be
published online on our disclosure log
([1]https://www.opc.gov.au/corporate‑informa...),
subject to certain exceptions. For example, personal information will not
be published where this would be unreasonable.

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.

Regards,
