Correspondence between the TGA and the AMA relating to electronic cigarettes
Dear Therapeutic Goods Administration,
I write to request copies of all correspondence between the Therapeutic Goods Administration or its representatives and the Australian Medical Association or its representatives on the topic of electronic cigarettes sent or received between 14 June 2020 and 14 June 2021 (inclusive).
I am not seeking personal information, nor am I seeking duplicates.
Yours faithfully,
Mary
Dear Ms Montague,
Thank you for your response dated 14 July 2021 (copied below). The
relevant line area is currently considering your proposed revision of
scope to determine whether the practical refusal reason still exists.

Given the time which has elapsed, and recognising that the request
consultation period is due to expire this Wednesday (21 July 2021), I
would be grateful if you would consider extending the consultation period
under section 24AB(5) of the FOI Act, by fourteen (14) days, to allow
adequate time for the line area to properly consider your response and so
that we can determine whether the revision allows us to continue
processing your request.
I apologise for the short time frame but I would appreciate your response
by COB tomorrow (Tuesday 20 July 2021).
I appreciate your consideration of this request.
Kind regards
Tara
