Dear Mr Valdez

I refer to your email below requesting specified documents under the
Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act).  

Documents that are by their character documents of a Judge do not respond
to the FOI Act. Accordingly, I cannot process under the FOI Act your
request for any document(s) provided by the Chief Justice.

Nor does the Family Court of Australia hold in an administrative capacity
any other documents described in your request. Mr Phillips is employed by
the Federal Court.  
Regards

The FOI Officer

Dear Family Court of Australia,

I am making the following request under the Freedom of Information Act
1982 (the FOI Act).

I seek those documents that meet the following description -

On 21 March 2014, Ms Bettina Arndt, a member of the press and writing for
the Fairfax Press publishers, sought public comment from the Chief Justice
on the then recent refereed international publications exposing of the
fraudulent results and claims of Ms Jennifer McIntosh concerning the
overnight care of children, the subject of her email.  
Ms Arndt's correspondence was addressed to Bruce Philiips (Director Public
Information).
I have provided Ms Arndt's email as an annotation to this request on the
"Right to Know" website ([1]www.righttoknow.com.au).

Can you please provide the document(s)/email(s) Mr Phillips wrote in
response to Ms Arndt, as well as any document(s) provided, via Mr
Phillips, by the Chief Justice in response to Ms Arndt's request.

Sincerely
Mr Valdez
