Dear Minister Assisting the Prime Minister for the Public Service,

The following is an application for the purposes of the FOI Act.

I seek access to all email correspondence between your office and staff and the Australian Public Service Commissioner, Mr John Lloyd, falling between the period of 14 May 2018 to the date of this application (including email documents sent by you or your staff to Mr Lloyd and email documents sent by Mr Lloyd to you or your staff).

Documents falling within the scope of my request can be quickly identified and retrieved by searching all items (including archived items) in your or your office’s email account profiles according to persons sent to, and received from.

I am willing to agree to the redaction, from any relevant document, the personal information of any person mentioned in that document, except where that person was, at the relevant time: i) a public servant; or ii) a member of parliament. Noting paragraphs 6.153-6.154 of the FOI guidelines, this refinement of my request should negate any need for consultation with any third parties under s.27A of the FOI Act.
