FOI Delegations - 2016
Dear Australian Grape and Wine Authority,
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 Australian Grape and Wine Authority,
