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
I refer to emails the ABC sent you on 2 and 17 November 2021.
The ABC has located an additional document in answer to this freedom of
information request and now requires time consult with a third party about
the extra document.
In addition, we will be closed for 2 weeks as of the end of this week. 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 January 2021 when staff resourcing is back to usual
levels, and third party consultation is complete.
We will do our best to issue the decision sooner than that but would be
grateful for the extra 30 days permitted by the legislation. Would you
kindly reply by email as to whether you agree to this extension of time,
and so that we know that you are contactable at this email address?
Many thanks, FOI Advisor
