Dear A Greasley,

Your Freedom of Information Request – Re: Transcript of phone call

I refer to your application dated 12 June 2015 in which you seek access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act).

Information considered irrelevant to the scope of your request

The AFP, in its management of FOI requests, excludes the following information on the basis that is irrelevant to the scope of a request:

- The middle names of AFP members
- Mobile numbers
- Duplicate documents, including duplicate emails. The AFP will only provide emails where they form a final email chain and the authors/recipients are contained within the final email.
- Information that is publicly available, for example, newspaper articles, online publications including information available on the AFP Information Publication Scheme and the AFP disclosure log.

If you object to the AFP excluding any of the above information, please advise this office within seven of receipt of this letter.

Your request was received by this agency on 12 June 2015 and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from that date.

You will be notified of any charges in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Fees and Charges) Regulations, should they apply, in relation to your request as soon as practicable.

 
Information Publication Scheme

Please be advised that in accordance with section 8(2) of the Act, an agency is required to publish information on their website following the notification of a decision in respect of a freedom of information request.

The requirement to publish information released under FOI reinforces the objectives of the FOI Act to promote a pro-disclosure culture across government and to increase recognition that information held by government is a national resource. Exceptions to the requirement to publish information would apply to personal information and information concerning the business affairs of a person if it was considered ‘unreasonable’ to do so. Details of the decision may be published in a Disclosure Log which can be found at http://www.afp.gov.au/about-the-afp/info....

If, however, after noting the above, you wish to raise any concerns about the publication of information concerning your request prior to the notification of a decision, please advise this office in writing before 12 July 2015. If you do not raise any concerns prior to the date of the decision, the AFP will publish the information as notified to you in the decision.

Yours sincerely,

On behalf of
Coordinator
Freedom of Information
Government Relations

Dear A GREASLEY,

Your Freedom of Information Request FOI CRM2015/485

I refer to your email dated 12 June 2015, seeking access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), in particular, documents relating to "the transcript of the phone call made by Man Haron Monis' girlfriend's cousin to the immigration department and the anti-terrorism hotline in 2010".

Your request has been transferred to the Attorney General's Department as the AFP does not hold any documents relevant to your FOI request and the subject matter of the document is more closely connected with the functions of that agency.

The address of the Attorney General's Department for correspondence is:

[email address]

Yours sincerely,

On behalf of,

Coordinator
Freedom of Information
Operations Support
Australian Federal Police
