Dear Ms Loom,
Transfer of freedom of information request to another agency
I refer to your request for access to the following documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the FOI Act):
"Consistent with the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request all correspondence between the Minister, Senators, Members, or the Australian Football League (or the Australian Football League Commission) in relation to funding of an AFL team for Tasmania.
I am not seeking drafts of the above documents."
I am writing to tell you that I have transferred your request to the Department of Health and Aged Care in accordance with section 16 of the FOI Act. Sport Integrity Australia consulted with the Department of Health and Aged Care who determined that the subject matter of the request is more closely connected with the functions of their department.
Accordingly, on 2 December 2022, I transferred your request to the Department of Health and Aged Care who will process your request.
We received your request on 28 November 2022 and the 30 day statutory period for processing your request commenced from the day after that date. The Department of Health and Aged Care will treat your request as though it received it the same day that we did. You should therefore expect a decision from them by Wednesday 28 November 2022. The period of 30 days may be extended if the Department of Health and Aged Care needs to consult third parties or for other reasons. They will advise you if this happens.
The Department of Health and Aged Care FOI Team may be contacted via [email address].
Kind regards,

Dear Daniel,
Thank you for your email and confirming the transfer of this application. However, the application was to the Minister for Sport as an entity under the Act and I request that this application be processed by the Minister.
I am happy to provide a 15 day extension for this request, noting the confusion of who will process and the closure of the Department for Christmas.
If you could please advise on the above as soon as possible, that would be appreciated.

Dear Ms Loom,
Thank you for your email and confirming the extension request below.
The Department of Health and Aged Care accepted transfer of this request
as the department manages the Parliamentary Document Management System
(PDMS), which is used to store, manage and control the workflow of all
parliamentary documents between agencies and the Ministers' Offices. As
Ministers’ offices do not have direct access to PDMS, the documents you
are seeking access to would be in the possession of the department.
I hope this answers your query and provides further context regarding the
transfer.

Daniel

Dear Daniel,
Thanks for your email and for the clarification.
I appreciate that the document management system may be operated by the Department but I am after documents held by the Minister or their office in relation to the matter, not those held by the Department. Apologies if that was not made clear in the original request.
I'm happy to put forward a separate application for the documents that the Department does hold, but that would be a separate application to the Department as a separate entity.
Let me know if you need any further clarification.
Regards,
Andorra
Dear Ms Loom
Thank you for providing this clarification.
Noting the elapse of time, the fact that your request has already been
transferred between agencies, and to avoid any further ambiguity, we
recommend that you submit a new request for the Office of the Minister for
Sport. You can do this by responding to this email to
[1][email address].
The Department will register the new request on behalf of the Minister for
Sport and will forward it to the Minister's Office for their action.
We propose the following wording:
"I request all correspondence between the Minister, Senators, Members, or
the Australian Football League (or the Australian Football League
Commission) in relation to funding of an AFL team for Tasmania. I am
seeking documents held by the Minister or the Minister's office, not those
held by the department or managed by the department on their behalf. I am
not seeking draft documents."
Please note that the timeframe for documents held by the Minister for
Sport starts on 1 June 2022, the date that the current Minister was sworn
in, in accordance with the Office of the Information Commissioner's (OAIC)
FOI Guidelines, section 2.52, which states: "The application of the FOI
Act to documents ‘in the possession of a minister’ excludes by implication
documents held by a former minister", see [2]https://www.oaic.gov.au.
If you accept this proposal, or would prefer to submit your own preferred
wording to the Minister for Sport, would you please respond by COB Friday
9 December 2022.
Would you please also confirm if you would like to continue or withdraw
the current request FOI 4121, that is, for the Minister for Sport's
correspondence held and managed by the Department in its record-keeping
system PDMS.

Daniel

Dear Ms Loom,
Thank you for your email to the Department of Health and Aged Care (the
department) below seeking Internal Review.
I regret any confusion, however, the department and Minister for Sport
each processed a request for the following:
I request all correspondence between the Minister, Senators, Members, or
the Australian Football League (or the Australian Football League
Commission) in relation to funding of an AFL team for Tasmania. I am
seeking documents held by the Minister or the Minister's office. I am not
seeking draft documents.
These requests were processed under FOI 4133 (Minister for Sport) and FOI
4121 (Department of Health and Aged Care) respectively.
FOI 4133
On 12 December 2023 the department acknowledged the Minster for Sport’s
request on the Minister’s behalf.
In this correspondence, the department notified you that we provide
administrative assistance to the Minister’s Office to process FOI
requests, including for FOI 4133. Please find a copy of this email
attached.
I confirm the department provided administrative assistance for this
request, and the Minister for Sport issued a decision for FOI 4133 on 09
January 2023, please find a copy of this email attached.
FOI 4121
The department processed a request on the same terms under FOI 4121.
This decision was issued to you on 12 January 2023 independent of the
Minister for Sport’s request (attached).
Internal Review
In your below email you requested Internal review of your FOI from the
Minister of Sport.
Noting the decision for FOI 4133 was made directly by the Minister,
Internal Review is not available.
Internal review is available for FOI 4121, as it was processed by the
department.
Please see [1]Part 9, section 9.5 and 9.10 of the FOI Guidelines issued by
the Office of the Australian Information Commissioner outlining this.
For a review of FOI decision 4133 made by the Hon. Minister Wells, the
Minister for Sport, you will need contact the Office of the Australian
Information Commissioner directly. Attachment A of the decision letter for
FOI 4133 outlines how to do this. Please find a copy of the email issuing
the decision for FOI 4133, with the decision letter attached.
For future enquiries relating to these FOI requests, please contact
