Good morning,
Freedom of Information request no. 34-2025
I refer to your request for access to documents related to the Royal
Assent of the Administrative Review Tribunal (Consequential and
Transitional Provisions No. 1) Act 2024.
OPC received your request on 28 January 2025 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 27 February 2025. 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 For example, personal information will not
be published where this would be unreasonable.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.
Kind Regards,
FOI Contact Officer

Freedom of information request no. 34-2025
"Act No. 38 of 2024 - assented/signed copy and documents submitted for Royal Assent"
Dear FOI Officer, OPC,
Thank you for your letter on 20 February 2025 which kindly provides the first and last pages of the assented copy of Act No. 38 of 2024, and the certificate from the Attorney-General (and a certificate from the First Parliamentary Counsel) on assent to the Act.
My FOI request of 28 January 2025 also includes "the certificate from either the House of Representatives or the Senate". It appears from the documents you provided that there would likely have been a certificate or letter issued by the Speaker to the Governor-General on the passage of the Bill which later became Act No. 38 of 2024.
OPC's past response to various FOI requests have included a copy of such certificate from the Speaker (when requested and if OPC had copy), such as Freedom of information request no. 33-2025 (ref: T25/26) ("Act No. 126 of 2015 - assented/signed copy and documents submitted for Royal Assent"). I would appreciate it greatly if OPC can confirm whether a copy of the following is available and may be provided:
- a certificate or letter issued by the Speaker to the Governor-General on the passage of the Bill which later became Act No. 38 of 2024
Thank yous!
Yours faithfully,
Tyler
