Dear Mr Hamiltonshire,

The Australian Human Rights Commission has begun processing your request
under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth) (FOI Act).

You have requested access to:

Correspondence between any officials of the Australian Human Rights
Commission referencing or relating to Lorraine Finlay's contributions to
the book 'Beneath The Southern Cross - Looking For Australia In The 21st
Century".

We confirm that you agree to the redaction of names and personal details
of non-SES Commission staff in the requested documents.

Under the FOI Act, the Commission has until Friday, 13 December 2024 to
make a decision in relation to your request.

If your request covers documents which contain the personal information of
third parties and the Commission is required under the FOI Act to consult
with the person or organisation concerned before making a decision on the
release of those documents, the processing period will be extended a
further 30 days. An FOI officer from the Commission will advise you if
third party consultation is required.

Please feel free to contact me should you have any questions relating to
your request for documents.

Best regards,

Demitra Nikas she/her
Paralegal
