FOI Delegations - 2016
Dear Australian Institute of Marine Science,
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,
Thank you for your email. A copy of the AIMS ACT 1972 is available at

Thank you and kind regards,
Dear Sharon,
Thank you for your email. I understand that the Law allows the Institute to delegate powers, however what I am seeking is a written copy of those Authoriations/Delegations made under section 23 of the Freedom of Information Act 1982 (Cth).
Yours sincerely,
Ben Fairless
