Can you please provide the documents and emails from the three months prior to September 14 2015 relating to the customer surcharging component of recommendation 17 of the Murray Report into Australia's financial system and the additional decision to phase in a legislated ban on surcharges that exceed reasonable costs.
Can you please wave or reduce fees related to this request. The information is in the public interest as it will support public debate around the potential passage of legislation in this area.
Yours faithfully,
