Dear Mr Gannon,

Your Freedom of Information Request

I refer to your application received 23 March 2016 in which you seek
access to documents under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act) in
relation to Incident P1428942.

Information considered irrelevant to the scope of your request

The AFP, in its management of FOI requests, excludes the following
information on the basis that is irrelevant to the scope of a request:

-      Names of AFP members, other than the Senior Executive.

-      Direct telephone numbers and mobile telephone numbers of AFP
members.

-      Duplicate documents, including duplicate emails.  The AFP will only
provide emails where they form a final email chain and the
authors/recipients are contained within the final email. 

-      Information that is publicly available, for example, newspaper
articles, online publications including information available on the AFP
Information Publication Scheme and the AFP disclosure log.

If you object to the AFP excluding any of the above information, please
advise this office within seven days of receipt of this letter.

Your request was received by this agency on 23 March 2016 and the 30 day
statutory period for processing your request commenced from that date.

You will be notified of any charges in accordance with the Freedom of
Information (Fees and Charges) Regulations, should they apply, in relation
to your request as soon as practicable. 

Photographic Identification

As outlined on the FOI request form which can be accessed from the AFP
Website, it states:  “if you are seeking access to your personal
information, please include a photocopy of your passport or driver’s
licence or other form of photographic identification.  This personal
information must be supplied if you are seeking access to personal
information.”

I note that you have requested information in relation to yourself.  To
ensure that your personal information is not inappropriately released to
someone other than yourself, we request that you provide a form of
photographic identification, such as a copy of your driver’s licence or
passport, to verify your identity.  If you do not supply us with a copy of
your identification, the information may be exempt and we will not be able
to release documents to you.

Please provide your identification as soon as possible by return email or
by post to:

Freedom of Information Team

Operations Support

GPO Box 401

Canberra ACT 2601

Information Publication Scheme

Please be advised that in accordance with section 8(2) of the Act, an
agency is required to publish information on their website following the
notification of a decision in respect of a freedom of information
request.  Exceptions to the requirement to publish information would apply
to personal information and information concerning the business affairs of
a person if it was considered ‘unreasonable’ to do so.  Details of the
decision may be published in a Disclosure Log which can be found at

Dear Mr. Gannon,

Your Freedom of Information Request

I refer to your application dated 23 March 2016 seeking access to information under the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (the Act).

As your request covers documents which contain individual persons’ information, the Australian Federal Police is required to consult with the private individuals before making a decision on the release of those documents.

Sub-section 15(6) of the Act provides for an extension of 30 days to the statutory 30 day time limit for processing requests. The statutory timeframe for your application commenced on 23 March 2016. Therefore, the time limit for processing your request and notification of a decision will now expire on 22 May 2016.

Often in undertaking this consultation process, the third parties enquire as to who the FOI applicant is. Specifically, the FOI guidelines state that it is unnecessary and inadvisable to disclose the name of the applicant and accordingly, we do not disclose the identity of the FOI applicant unless permission is granted.

I would be grateful for your comments in relation to the above.

Yours sincerely,

CHLOE (AFP21113)
