Dear Tyler

 

Thank you for your email of 2 January 2025 in which you made a request
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act) to the Department
of the Prime Minister and Cabinet (PM&C).

 

You set out the terms of the request as follows:

 

Is it possible to provide, with necessary redactions if you need any,
documents provided to the Governor-General for the Australian Government’s
recommendation to appoint or award Professor James Richard CRAWFORD as
Companion in the General Division, in the Order of Australia, in the
Queen's Birthday 2013 Honours List?

 

 

Notification of transfer of FOI request

The FOI Act provides a mechanism to transfer a request to another agency
where the subject-matter of the request is more closely connected with the
functions of that agency than with those of the agency to which the
request is made (section 16(1)(b) of the FOI Act). This ensures that a
decision on the request is made by the most appropriate agency. As the
subject-matter of the documents you have requested is more closely
connected with the functions of the Office of the Official Secretary to
the Governor-General (OOSGG) than with the functions of PM&C, your request
has been transferred in full to OOSGG under section 16(1)(b) of the FOI
Act.

 

OOSGG will be in touch regarding the processing of your request. Should
you wish to contact them, please do so by emailing
[1][email address]

 

Kind regards

Coordinator
