Documents relating to PM Transcript
Dear Prime Minister,
I request access to all documents relating to the transcript of the PM's interview with Ben Fordham on 18 January 2023.
The published version of the transcript is available online at:
https://www.pm.gov.au/media/radio-interv...
I seek copies of any drafts of the transcript and any emails, whatsapps, messages or other correspondence/communication (regardless of platform) held by PMO in relation to the transcript or draft versions of the transcript. My request is for documents created or received on 18 or 19 January 2023.
I also seek any correspondence or communication in relation to the transcript between PMO and third parties between the publishing of the transcript and today (being 19 January 2023). This would include any responses provided to media about the transcript.
To assist with your searches I note that the documents I am requesting are likely to be held in a range of different formats including (but not limited to) emails and messages eg whatsapp, signal, sms).
Yours faithfully,
H
