Documents pertaining to the removal of the term 'Gonski'
Dear Department of Education, Employment and Workplace Relations,
I am wanting to access any documents, emails, etc. that concern the removal of the 'Review of Funding for Schooling Report' from the department's website, and any such documentation regarding that may help to explain why the term 'Gonski' now yields no results when used a search term on the department's website. Additionally, I would like access to any documents, emails, etc. that concern the decommissioning of schoolfunding.gov.au website and also how the decision was made to decommission it.
Yours faithfully,
Nikos Thomacos

Fairfax did an FOI about where the Gonski report went... leading to Gonski documents being put back onto the FOI page

I suspect the reason the information does not exist is because the department - along with all the rest - has "archived" all previous material at the National Library's Pandora archive of online material. Effectively all this material has vanished, as it's not discoverable by web searching. See http://pandora.nla.gov.au/col/12402#12603
