FOI Delegations
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation as part of a batch sent to 166 authorities
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation,
Under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act, the principal officer or minister can make arrangements to give their decision making powers to others.
I'm hoping you can provide me with a copy of the current arrangements if possible.
If it helps, I'm happy for you to process this request under "administrative release" (https://www.oaic.gov.au/freedom-of-infor...). This would reduce the cost and time required to make a formal decision.
That said, I understand sometimes you want the request to be formal. If you won't process it informally, please process my request for the document as a formal FOI Request.
Please note - While I volunteer for Right to Know, this request is made in a personal capacity and not on behalf of Right to Know.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless
Dear Mr Fairless
I refer to your request of 14 November 2018 addressed to the Minister for Financial Services and Superannuation (below).
I am unable to process your request as there is currently no such Minister. That Minister last existed in 2013.
Regards,
Freedom of Information Officer
The Treasury
