Dear Mr Fairless

 

The Department of Education and Training (the department) acknowledges
receipt of your FOI request below which you have addressed to
"Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Education". 

 

The Commonwealth ministry does not include a position of Parliamentary
Secretary to the Minister for Education.  For this reason, the department
does not hold any documents within the scope of your request and is unable
to transfer your request to the named Parliamentary Secretary.

 

The department will therefore treat your FOI request as withdrawn unless
we hear otherwise from you by COB 28 November 2018.

 

Regards

 

FOI Team

Department of Education and Training

Dear Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for Education,

 

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
