Good afternoon,

I refer to your FOI request received on 08 June 2022 for access to the
following documents:

Requesting classifier note, decision document, application for
classification, and full-screen screenshot showing information from the
database as seen by the Classification Board for the computer game Far Cry
6.

This request includes personal information but does not include the
software sent with the classification application.

Application for classification includes footage, attachment, and form.

The full-screen screenshot should show all the information for the game
and the software used to view it. The screenshot includes information from
all tabs, not only from the "DECISION" tab. The software used to view it,
which might be a web browser, may show the information partly requiring
the user to scroll to view all the information. There could be a
screenshot showing all the information, and a screenshot showing the
software used to view it which may show the information partly.

Release copy of the footage file received with the application for
classification with no change.

While processing your request, it has come to our attention that this
request is identical to another request received on 01 September 2021
(previous FOI reference number CB 22-002). These documents will be
available on our Disclosure Log within the next couple of days and can be
accessed via the following link - [1]Freedom of Information Disclosure Log
| Department of Infrastructure, Transport, Regional Development and
Communications, Australian Government. Therefore, we will not proceed with
processing this request. Our Department now considers this matter as
finalised.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you have any questions.

Regards,

Kristin
