Dear Mr Simpson

The ABC is required to consult with third parties under section 27 of the
Freedom of Information Act 1982. As such, the time for processing this
request is extended by 30 days under section 15(6) of the FOI Act.

Our decision is now due on Monday 20 December 2021.

Many thanks, FOI Advisor

Dear Mr Simpson

The ABC requires more time consider responses to consultation and finalise
the decision about your freedom of information request. In addition, we
will be closed for 2 weeks at the end of the year.

We would therefore be grateful if you would agree an extension under s
15AA of the Freedom of Information Act (Cth) 1982, such that the decision
would be due by Wednesday 19 Janaury 2021 when staff resourcing is back to
usual levels.

We will do our best to issue the decision sooner, but would be grateful
for the extra 30 days permitted by the legislation. Would you kindly reply
by 10am on Friday as to whether you agree to this extension of time?

Many thanks, FOI Advisor
