Axiom Associates report on the Senate scanning and digitisation process
Dear Australian Electoral Commission,
I request, under the Freedom of Information Act, the report from Axiom Associates on the audit they conducted to assess the accuracy of the 2022 Senate scanning and digitisation process.
Yours faithfully,
Vanessa Teague
Dear Dr Teague
I am getting in touch with regarding your FOI request for the Axiom Senate
Assurance report. I understand that Kath Gleeson, A/g First Assistant
Commissioner Service Delivery & National Election Manager provided you
with a draft copy of the report in full.
This version is both the current version, and the version that was in
existence at the time you made your application. The FOI Act provides a
right of access to documents that exist at the time the application is
made. This means that if you decide to proceed with the application we
will provide another copy of the same draft report (with a covering letter
and reasons).
This being the case, we request that you formally withdraw the
application. Could you please advise of your decision prior to Friday 12
August 2022? We note that the decision is due on 15 August 2022.
Withdrawing your FOI request now, will not limit your ability to make
fresh requests.
If you have any questions please email [1][email address] or contact me at
the number below.
Kind regards,
Will Mueller | Manager, Corporate and Information Law

Thankyou for sending the draft report to my private email, but I do not withdraw the public request.

Yours sincerely,
Vanessa Teague
