FOI Delegations - 2016

Ben Fairless made this Freedom of Information request to Attorney-General's Department 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.

The request was successful.

Dear Attorney-General's Department,

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

 

As requested in your email below, please see attached a copy of the
current FOI delegations for the Attorney‑General’s Department.  No
other directions have been issued in respect of FOI for this department.

 

As you sought in your email, the Department is providing this document to
you under administrative access, rather than as a formal FOI request.

 

I note that you made the same request in relation to the
Solicitor‑General’s Office, and that you made that request in an email
to this Department.  I am advised by the Solicitor‑General’s Office
that there are no documents within the scope of your request in existence
in relation to the Solicitor‑General’s Office.

 

Kind regards,

 

Assistant Director

Freedom of Information and Privacy Section

Australian Government Attorney-General's Department | 3 - 5 National
Circuit, Barton ACT 2600
