Dear Mark,

 

Acknowledgement of your Request

 

I refer to your request for access to documents made in the following
terms:

 

'I am interested in obtaining copies of statements distributed to electors
in accordance with s. 11 of the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Act 1984
and, indeed, copies of similar statements distributed in accordance with
earlier (repealed) Acts.'

 

We are in the process of identifying whether the AEC holds the documents
you have requested or whether these may be available elsewhere. Once we
have determined whether the AEC holds the documents you have requested, we
will contact you at this email address as soon as possible.  

 

Further assistance

 

If you have any questions please email [1][email address], or contact our
enquiries line on 13 23 26.

 

Kind Regards,

 

Candice

To the Australian Electoral Commission,

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

I would be grateful if you would, if possible, deal with this under
administrative arrangements rather than invoking the cumbersome machinery
of the FOI Act.

.

I am interested in obtaining copies of statements distributed to electors
in accordance with s. 11 of the Referendum (Machinery Provisions) Act 1984
and, indeed, copies of similar statements distributed in accordance with
earlier (repealed) Acts.

 

However, I am unsure whether it would be appropriate to address an FOI
request to your department, or whether there is a more appropriate
department. I would appreciate your guidance. The AEC might, of course, be
aware of, or publish, links to such statements on the web

 

Yours faithfully,

 

Mark R. Diamond
