FOI Delegations - 2016
Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Australian Human Rights Commission as part of a batch sent to 125 authorities
This request has been closed to new correspondence from the public body. Contact us if you think it ought be re-opened.
Dear Australian Human Rights Commission,
Can I please have a copy of the current FOI Delegations, and any related directions issued in respect of FOI.
I believe this information could be considered "operational information" so I therefore request release under the IPS, or under Administrative Access.
Yours faithfully,
Ben Fairless
Dear Mr Fairless
There are no delegations and no directions.
If you are referring to any authorisation pursuant to s 23 of the FOI Act please let me know

Michelle
