Good morning Alex

 

Thank you for your email of 11 February 2025 requesting access to
documents held by the Classification Board (the Board) under the Freedom
of Information Act 1982 (FOI Act).

 

You have requested access to:

 

Any correspondence received or exchanged by the Classification Review
Board from any member of the 47th Parliament of Australia.
To avoid doubt, this request extends to include members of the Federal
House of Representatives and members of the Federal Senate.

 

Your request has been allocated the reference number CB 25-269. Could you
please ensure that you quote this reference number in all future
correspondence.

 

Timeframes

The statutory due date for you to receive a decision on your request is 13
March 2025. This date may be extended in certain circumstances, and in the
event that this occurs, the Board will notify you.  Where the due date
falls on a Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, the timeframe will expire
on the next working day.

 

Clarification of scope

 

We note that you have requested any correspondence received or exchanged
by the Classification Review Board from any member of the 47th Parliament
of Australia, and including  members of the Federal House of
Representatives and members of the Federal Senate.

 

To assist with the search and retrieval of the correspondence, are you
able to clarify a date range for the request?

 

We would be grateful if you could respond by COB Friday 14 February 2025.

 

Other information

Please note that the Board considers the following information outside the
scope of your request unless you specifically request it:

o personal information of third-party individuals; including public
servants below the SES level and all email addresses, signatures and
direct telephone numbers

your request
o any correspondence sent directly to or from you.

 

The Board may impose a charge for the work involved in providing access to
the documents in accordance with the Freedom of Information (Charges)
Regulations. You will be notified separately if the Board decides to
impose a charge. There is no charge for documents that contain your own
personal information.

 

Where documents are released to you under the FOI Act in response to your
request, the Board must publish those documents on its FOI Disclosure Log
within 10 business days of their release to you, unless they contain
personal information or business affairs information that would be
unreasonable to publish. Further information regarding the Department’s
FOI Disclosure Log can be found [1]here.
