Dear Mr Sheehy

We write to acknowledge receipt of your request, under the Freedom of
Information Act 1982 (FOI Act), seeking the following documents:

Consistent with the Freedom of Information Act 1982, I request copies of
Treasury’s Question Time Briefs (however described) prepared for the
Minister for Housing, Minister for Homelessness, for 4 July 2024 and a
copy of the Department’s current index of Question Time Briefs.

The Treasury received your request on 8 July 2024. The FOI Act provides
that we have 14 days to acknowledge, and 30 days to process, the request.
This period may be extended if we need to consult third parties or for
other reasons. We will advise you if this happens.

We will advise you if a charge is payable to process your request and the
amount of any such charge as soon as possible.

We make the following assumptions that affect the scope of the request.
These are set out below.

It is our usual practice:

•              not to disclose the personal information of government
employees or the personal contact details of senior government employees
(including those of the Treasury). The names of senior officers will
generally be released.

•              not to release duplicates of any document captured within
the scope of the request.

•              only the final version of a document will be considered
within scope.

Please inform us if you do not agree to the request being processed on the
above assumptions. If we do not hear from you, your request will be
processed on the basis that these documents are outside the scope of your
request.

We will contact you using the email address you provided. Please advise if
you would prefer us to use an alternative means of contact.

If you have any questions in relation to your application, please contact
the FOI Team on 02 6263 2800.

Kind regards
