Documentation that informs Public Interest test of Prosecution Guidelines
Dear NSW Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions,
I wish to request any internal documentation by the ODPP used to inform the 'public interest' test of the NSW Prosecution Guidelines (referred to in Chapter 1.4 of the Prosecution Guidelines) including but not limited to policies, procedures, briefing notes, thresholds of evidence, training notes, and so forth.
I do not wish to request the official NSW Prosecution Policy, but, any documentation that is possessed by the ODPP to inform or guide the application of the 'public interest' test in any way.
Yours faithfully,
XYM
Dear Applicant
Your application is invalid as it does not comply with the formal requirements set out in sections 41(1)(a), 41(1)(c) and 41(1)(d) of the Government Information (Public Access) Act 2009, however the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions can advise that the information you have requested is not held by this agency.
Regards,
ODPP
