Dear Mr Sweeney. We would like to acknowledge receipt of your FOI request (below) to the Treasurer dated 26 August 2016 and received in this department on 29 August 2016. Your request reads as follows:

'Dear Treasurer,

I refer to an article in the Australian Financial Review dated 26 August 2016 in which it was stated that the Treasurer had expanded the terms of reference to an inquiry being conducted by Professor Ian Ramsey of the University of Melbourne to include a "recommended model for a banking tribunal".

The document I seek is a copy of any correspondence dated on or around 25 August 2016 from the Treasurer to Professor Ramsey expanding the terms of reference to an inquiry that was established in May 2016 by the then Assistant Treasurer, the Hon Kelly O'Dwyer MP.'
