At: [Authority name]

Dear FOI (Right to Information) Officer,

This is not exactly a Freedom of Information/Right to Information request. I'm writing each university in the country informally about their information access. I'd be most appreciative if you would tell me, is your FOI disclosure log up-to-date? If it is not, how out-of-date is it ... how many requests behind? And when do you expect it to be brought up-to-date?

Thank you.

Dear Mrs Gale

As the Victorian FOI Act does not require agencies to have disclosure logs, the questions asked do not apply to Deakin (or any other Victorian university).

Kind regards
Sandra

Dear Sandra Mussett,

The information you provided was most helpful. I will be interested to discover whether there are any universities that publish disclosure logs despite not being compelled to by law!

Thank you.
