Dear Ben

The Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment is not an agency and therefore not subject to the FOI Act.

For this reason we consider your request to be invalid.

Dear Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister for the Environment,

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 Ben

 

The Australian Biological Resources Study (ABRS) Advisory Committee is not
an agency and therefore not subject to the FOI Act.

 

For this reason we consider your request to be invalid.  Also for your
reference the ABRS Advisory Committee has not existed for many years
therefore you may choose to update your records.
