I requested these documents because in this Crikey article https://www.crikey.com.au/2016/11/03/gov... they correctly complain:
>[these FOI documents are] unfortunately not online, because AGD insists it can’t upload FOI docs to its disclosure log because it doesn’t meet accessibility guidelines
Well now they are online :)
